Nighthawk Project Drilling

Bitterroot Resources Ltd. (symbol BTT, TSX-Venture Exchange) reports the results of drilling on the Nighthawk Gold/Silver Project in the Walker Lane Belt of west-central Nevada.

The Company’s drilling contractors completed 2,170 metres of drilling in seven reverse circulation drill holes spread over 8 kilometers of pediment-covered Miocene volcanics. The targets were structurally-controlled epithermal gold/silver mineralization similar to the adjoining Castle/Boss/Berg gold deposits. Prior targeting included prospecting, aeromagnetic, geochemical and passive seismic surveys.

Alluvial cover thicknesses ranged from over 250 metres to 54 metres. The first two holes were stopped before reaching bedrock. Drilling intersected Miocene andesite and rhyolite stratigraphy in the remaining five holes. Mineralization was limited to a 44.2 metre-thick (54.9 to 99.1 metres down hole) interval of moderately to intensely oxidized rhyolite in vertical hole NHK 25-RC-07, which hosted elevated levels of arsenic, antimony and tellurium. No significant gold/silver was encountered. The future of the Nighthawk Project will be reviewed in the coming months.
