Bathurst Metals Corp
      

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - November 17, 2022 – Bathurst Metal Corp. (TSXV:BMV), (OTC:BMVVF) (“Bathurst” or the “Company”) Vancouver, British ColumbiaBathurst Metals Corp. today announced it has entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with arm’s length vendor BCT Holdings Corp (the “Vendor”) to acquire an undivided 100% interest in 12 mineral claims covering approximately 5,500 hectares located in the Bridge River Mining Camp of British Columbia.

About the Peerless Project

  • Located less than 20 kilometres from the historic Bralorne/Pioneer and King Gold Mines 

 
  • Project’s known gold/silver and base metal mineralization is similar to these mines in that the mesothermal, orogenic quartz-carbonate, structurally controlled veins are in close proximity to an ultramafic intrusive/ volcaniclastic-sedimentary contact. 

 
  • Property contains three known showings, Alpha, Beta and Peerless with limited historical, systematic surface and underground exploration starting in the 1930’s. The property lies at low altitude and has year-round road access 

 
  • Historic drilling intercepted mineralization at the Alpha Zone such as: Hole 87-8, starting at 19.8 metres of 1.02 oz/tonne gold and 3.82 oz/tonne silver over a 3.47 metres core length. Zone remains open along strike and to depth. 

 
  • Recent exploration work has defined an east-northeast trending, in soil multi-element (gold/silver/arsenic/ antimony/lead/zinc/bismuth/copper) anomaly over 2,500 x 750 metres and remains open in all directions. 

 

Hardy Forzley, Bathurst’s CEO states: “With this acquisition, Bathurst secures a significant mineral rights position in one of the most prospective areas of British Columbia associated with gold mineralization. The project has good access to year-round field work and represents an exceptional opportunity for the Company.”
