The Leota Gold Project is the largest contiguous group of Quartz Mining Claims in the historic Klondike goldfields. Now totalling 1,017 claims, Goldbank’s Leota Gold Project covers an area of approximately 210 square kilometres.

The new claims extend the Leota property and adds additional areas displaying hanging wall, ophiolitic mafic igneous rocks or “greenstones”, the most prolific host rock for coarse, nuggety gold quartz vein deposits.

A preliminary evaluation of the new claim area by Chris H. Ash, project geologist and QP (Qualified Person) for the Leota Gold project has identified significant amounts of this rock type on the new claims with varying and locally intense carbonate-sericite pyrite alteration.

The new claims are subject to the Royalty set forth in the Leota property option agreement under which Goldbank optioned 100% of the Leota Gold Project.

This news release has been reviewed and approved for technical content by Chris H. Ash, P. Geo. Mr. Ash is a Qualified Person as defined under the terms of National Instrument 43-101.
