Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 13, 2021) - Stratabound Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SB) (OTCQB: SBMIF) is pleased to announce that field operations have commenced at its Golden Culvert Project in the southeast Yukon Territory. Crews have deployed on soil sampling programs on the northern Rubus and Little Hyland claim portions of the encompassing Golden Culvert Project totalling approximately 1,850 samples over 92.5 line-kilometres as well as stream sediment and ridge-and-spur reconnaissance sampling programs on the newly acquired Win Property to the south. The soil sampling program will complete 100% coverage in these untested areas for which past soil sampling has projected open-ended anomalous gold trends. The Company is also completing a detail-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) magnetic geophysical survey over the Golden Culvert Main Zone.
Mr. R. Kim Tyler, President and CEO of the Company commented, "Soil geochemistry programs have proven extremely effective in identifying gold mineralization in the western Cordillera, particularly in the Yukon where continental glaciation did not occur during the great ice-ages over 10,000 years ago. Eons of pre-existing erosional sediments and heavy minerals such as gold were left relatively in-place and not swept away."
The Golden Culvert Main Zone, yielding surface float-train samples reported as high as 320 g/t gold and trenching values up to 95.0 g/t gold over 1.5m, lies within a 3km by 250m wide gold-in-soil anomaly similar to those surrounding Seabridge Gold's nearby high-grade 3 Aces gold project featuring a 5,401 g/t Au surface sample discovered in 2003 and many other discoveries in the White Gold District in the western Yukon to name only a few examples. The Company hopes to discover more high-potential exploration targets for follow-up.
