(TSXV: VML) (OTCQX: VLMGF) (\"Viscount\" or \"the Company\") and our partner, a wholly owned subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. (TSX: CG) (NYSE: CGAU) has completed the Phase 1 core drilling program at the 100% controlled Cherry Creek Project in eastern White Pine County, Nevada. Centerra's drilling identified three vertically stacked Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) type features and mineralized zones at the Ti-Cup target. (Please refer to the figure below). These are large scale brecciation features in the limestone that host high-grade silver veins and lower grade silver mineralization that borders and overlaps the three zones. Base metal values encountered in these zones included lead to 10001 ppm, zinc to 10001 ppm, Cu to 4579.8 ppm and W to 101 ppm. These minerals generally occur in narrow veins and replacement zones from 0.75 to 4 meters in thickness.Ti-Cup CRD HorizonsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2736/156370_b05c7f0044395911_002full.jpgDrilling revealed several hundred meters of brecciation and anomalous silver mineralization which is approaching economic grades at depth. The surface projection of the breccias and mineralization projects to the northeast and away from the historic producing mine in an area that has not been historically explored. The potential for a high-grade silver bonanza CRD exists at the prospect and in the silver soil anomaly. Grab sample anomalies continue for more than a kilometer to the northeast into the higher terrain.With these recently identified permissive hydrothermal breccias in the Ti-Cup mine area, all of which overlie an Eocene age intrusive rock thought to be a mineralization driver in the district; the potential for finding silver and base metal CRD deposits is considered very good. CRD deposits are high temperature deposits and can form large orebodies that extend over long distances.The Ti-Cup was a major silver producer in the Cherry...
