ARIZONA SILVER JOINT-VENTURE WITH CAVAN VENTURES INC.
prnews
FLAGSTAFF, AZ, May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: QGR)
("Q-Gold") (>http://www.cavanventures.com) whereby Cavan has obtained a 18-month option to earn a 65%
participating interest in a prospective Arizona silver joint venture
with Q-Gold. The joint venture will contain Q-Gold's holdings of 3
patented historic silver mines and 22 adjoining U.S. Bureau of Land
Management ("BLM") mining claims in the Peck Mining District of Yavapai
County, Arizona, totalling 484 acres. The Peck District is famous for
its historic high-grade silver production, having produced an
"official" 1,374,000 ounces from 1875 to 1910.
By meeting its obligations in U.S. Dollars during the 18-month Option
Period, including cash payments to Q-Gold of $275,000, work
expenditures of $1,000,000 and issuance of Cavan shares to Q-Gold worth
$300,000, Cavan will earn a 65% participating interest in the Joint
Venture. During the Option Period, Q-Gold will be Operator for the
undertaking.
As noted above, the joint venture area contains 3 high-grade historic
silver mines and a number of BLM claims highly prospective for silver,
yet it has never experienced modern mining exploration techniques.
Therefore, the venture will initially launch a helicopter-based VTEM /
Magnetic airborne geophysical survey which will attempt to delineate
anomalies which will indicate potential remaining ore bodies and
possible drilling sites within the complex.
Q-Gold CEO John Campbell remarked "With silver prices at recent record
highs, I look forward to initiating modern joint exploration activities
this summer with Cavan at Crown King, in the historic silver-producing
Peck Mining District of Arizona."
