This first phase program will consist of mapping,\nprospecting and trenching of targets in preparation for drill testing.\nThe 8,579 hectare Haldane project is located in the western portion of\nthe Keno Hill silver district, 25 kilometres west of Keno City, Yukon.\n Exploration at Haldane is investigating the extensions of historical\nhigh-grade silver production on the property as well as recently\ndefined targets, such as the West Fault where Alianza is outlining\n high-grade silver mineralization which recently returned 3.14 m\n(true width) averaging 1,351 g/t silver, 2.43% lead and 2.91% zinc in\ndrilling.\n \n \n \n “Our recent success with the discoveries of new\nsilver-bearing vein mineralization at new targets such as Bighorn and\nWest Fault compels us to examine other high-priority targets to\nprepare them for drilling,” stated Rob Duncan, M.Sc., Vice\nPresident, Exploration for Alianza. “This same approach led to the\ndiscovery of silver-bearing vein mineralization at Bighorn in 2019 in\nour first drill hole testing a soil geochemical anomaly, yielding four\nnew mineralized veins. We believe there are more Bighorns to be\nfound.”\n \n \n \n The current program will investigate four areas with potential for\ntraditional “Keno-style” carbonate-silver-bearing sulphide vein\nmineralization in the Basal Quartzite member of the Keno Hill\nQuartzite formation, as seen at the Middlecoff and West Fault zones at\nHaldane and similar to that which comprises ore at the nearby Keno\nHill mine and surrounding deposits recently purchased by Hecla Mining.\nTargets may also be prospective for gold mineralization in the\nSourdough member of the Keno Hill Quartzite formation, which sits\nstratigraphically above the Basal Quartzite member.
