VANCOUVER, BC, April 29, 2021 – Alianza Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ANZ, OTC US: TARSF) (“Alianza” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that the mobilization of equipment for the Phase Two diamond drilling program has commenced at the Company’s wholly-owned Haldane high-grade silver property located in the historic Keno Hill Mining District of Yukon Territory. The 8,579 hectare Haldane Property is located 25 kilometres west of Keno City, YT in the western portion of the Keno Hill Silver District. Exploration at Haldane is targeting extensions of historic high-grade silver production as well as newly defined targets in new areas of the property.
“I’m excited to get our crews back in the field at Haldane,” stated Jason Weber, P.Geo, President and CEO of Alianza. “The West Fault target will be our primary focus following up our excellent results from last fall which demonstrated that both high grades and robust widths are present at this target.”
Phase One drilling at the West Fault intersected 16.15 m (estimated true width 8.72 m) averaging 311 g/t silver, 0.89% lead and 1.13% zinc. This includes a high-grade core of 818 g/t silver, 3.47% lead and 1.03% zinc (980 g/t silver-equivalent) over 3.3 m (1.78 m estimated true width). The current Phase Two program will systematically follow up on this result testing along strike and down dip to define possible high-grade shoots associated with the 2020 intersection. Road clearing is underway and camp construction will commence shortly, followed by the start up of drilling in early May.
