Revolver Resources Inc.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 18, 2016 / REVOLVER RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: RZ) (the "Company" or "Revolver") is pleased to announce it will begin exploration in 2 weeks at its high grade Gold Drop property, located near Greenwood, southeast British Columbia. The Company recently entered into an option agreement with Ximen Mining Corp. to acquire 100% interest in the Gold Drop property. The property consists of 11 mineral claims and 9 crown grants covering an area of approximately 2150 hectares. The property covers geologically prospective ground in the well-mineralized Greenwood Mining Division. The property includes at least 8 low-sulfide, gold and silver bearing quartz veins or vein systems, four of which were previously mined.

The Gold Drop property is described in a July 2016 NI-43-101 Technical Report. Gold and silver bearing quartz veins or vein systems within the property include North Star, Gold Drop, Amandy, Lakeview, Lady of the Lake, Roderick Dhu, Alice and Moonlight (MINFILE Nos. 082ESE152, 082ESE153, 082ESE126, 082ESE056, 082ESE127, 082ESE125, 082ESE225 and 082ESE224). Other gold bearing veins are documented on the property as per mineral assessment reports. The property has 100's of meters of underground workings with the most extensive workings being at Gold Drop, North Star and Amandy.

Small-scale intermittent mining was conducted at Gold Drop, North Star, Amandy and Roderick Dhu veins during the period of 1919 - 1941. This included:

  • North Star: 6,178 tonnes mined with 3.8 g/t Au and 76.9 g/t Ag recovered.
  • Amandy: 1,059 tonnes mined with 10.0 g/t Au and 185.2 g/t Ag recovered.
  • Gold Drop: 294 tonnes mined with 16.5 g/t Au and 98.3 g/t Ag recovered.
  • Roderick Dhu: 25 tonnes mined with 19.9 g/t Au and 275 g/t Ag recovered

The initial work to be conducted by Revolver will include locating historic workings on the property and mapping and sampling quartz veins at these workings. More recent work during the 1980s to 2015 has been focused in the eastern region of the property in the general area of the Gold Drop and North Star workings. Other workings (open cuts, trenches, adits and /or shafts) are documented on the property including pre-1950 workings in the northwest region (area of Alice, Amandy, Lakeview, Lady of the Lake, Moonlight and Roderick Dhu veins or vein systems), the southern region and the eastern-most region of the property (east of the Gold Drop and North Star workings).

The most recent work on the property was conducted by Ximen Mining Corp. during 2014 and 2015. This included trenching, geological mapping and rock sampling in the eastern region of the property. Visible gold was located in a quartz vein outcrop near the North Star underground workings. The highlight of this work was a grab sample of mineralized quartz vein rubble excavated from a North Star trench which assayed 155 g/t Au and 744 g/t Ag. The Gold Drop Project has easy access and good infrastructure in place.
