Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 25, 2024) - Phenom Resources Corp. (TSXV: PHNM) (OTCQX: PHNMF) (FSE: 1PY0) ("Phenom" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that permits and drill contractors are in place for a mid October start to the initial drilling campaign on the Company's Crescent Valley Gold Project. The drill program follows positive results from an IP geophysical survey completed in August. The Crescent Valley Gold Project represents a high-grade, bonanza-vein gold prospect strategically located within the Northern Nevada Rift flanking the southwest fringe of the Carlin Gold Trend in Northern Nevada.
Dave Mathewson, Director and Geological Advisor to the Company states, "The Crescent Valley Project represents the core portion of the largest quartz vein system in Nevada that I am aware of. The project is a low-sulphidation bonanza-vein epithermal gold opportunity with a setting remarkably similar to that of the SLEEPER deposit located in Humboldt County, Nevada. The SLEEPER Mine was a high-grade gold mine operated by AMAX Gold from 1986-1996 and was considered the lowest cost gold producer in the world in 1988 at $103/oz because of its open pit mined Bonanza vein and wall-rock gold grades which, combined, averaged 0.48 opt Au."
The Crescent Valley Gold Project located 22 km (13 miles) southwest of the town of Carlin, Nevada controls a 4 kilometre (2.5 mile) strike-length of the large low-sulphidation epithermal vein system developed along the western margin of the northern Cortez Range. The range-front/margin vein system is a zone of multi-event, silica-healed, hydrothermal breccias. Portions of the veins display minor repetitive banding, coarsely-bladed calcite, and quartz pseudomorphs of the calcite, within larger zones of phreatic-type brecciation that typically represent above-boiling zones of hydrothermal fluids and also above the prospective deposition levels of gold.
About Phenom Resources Corp.
Phenom has 100% interest in the Carlin Gold-Vanadium Project, located in Elko County, 6 miles south from the town of Carlin, Nevada and Highway I-80 which hosts the Carlin Vanadium deposit, North America's largest highest grade primary vanadium resource. The Project lies within the prolific Carlin Gold Trend. Approximately 9 million ounces comprised of multiple gold deposits, including past producing mines, are present near the Phenom property (5-15km). The Company has options on three gold projects in Nevada, the King Solomon and Dobbin Properties which are Carlin Gold-type targets and the Crescent Valley Property.
