The Rattlesnake Hills gold prospect is located in Natrona County, Wyoming, approximately 70 kilometers west of the city of Casper and consists of 10,000 acres. Evolving Gold acquired a 100% undivided interest in the prospect.
Rattlesnake Hills is a volcanic hosted alkalic gold system similar to multi-million ounce gold deposits such as Cripple Creek (Colorado).
Assay results from the first phase of drilling have defined a large zone of gold mineralization which extends from surface to at least 550 meters deep and remains open at depth and on 3 sides. The average grade at Rattlesnake is 0.96 gpt gold. Contained in this zone are 2 long intervals of high grade (146 m of 2.92 gpt and 131 m of 2.84 gpt) which are 65 meters apart.
2009 Drilling
The 2009 Drill program is scheduled to begin in early May. 45-50 holes are planned for a total of 25,000 meters. The drill program will test extensions of the higher grade mineralization at North Stock and will also test extensions and the size potential of the halo gold mineralization. The drilling will also test for continuity between the North Stock target and the Antelope Basin and South Stock targets.
