Star Metro - Silver Range Partner Walker Lane Resources to Begin an Airborne Geophysical Survey at Tule Canyon, Nevada

Precision Geosurveys Inc. of Reno, NV and Langley, BC has been contracted to perform an airborne total magnetic field and radiometric survey over the Tule Canyon Property. The survey will commence following completion of ongoing surveys by Precision in West Central Nevada and California. A total of 212 line-kilometres will be flown along lines spaced 100 metres apart, 30 metres above ground level.

The Tule Canyon Property sits astride a prominent deflection in the regional magnetic field associated with the underlying Sylvania Pluton. High grade gold and silver mineralization in the district is localized along this feature. The principal objectives of the survey will be to accurately map this deflection and to locate second order anomalies which may be associated with structurally controlled precious metal mineralization.

About the Tule Canyon Property

The Tule Canyon Property is 95 km south of Tonopah and 80 km northwest of Beatty near the Nevada-California border. Mineralization on the property occurs along a 5-kilometre-long trend coincident with a major structural inflection in the Sylvania Pluton mapped by regional aeromagnetic surveys. Gold and silver mineralization is hosted in numerous quartz veins with mesothermal textures. Precious metals are associated with hematite, pyrite, yellow plumbo-jarosite or similar lead oxides, rare galena and copper oxides. The western end of the trend covering the Ingall's Vein and the China Doll zone are silver-dominant with mineralization returning up to 4,320 g/t Ag and up to 31.8 g/t Au. The eastern end of the trend is gold-dominant with assays up to 37.3 g/t Au at surface and 27.6 g/t Au underground. Silver assays from material collected in this eastern area range up to 183 g/t Ag.

Mining in Tule Canyon dates from prior to 1848 when Mexican placer miners first began work in the area. Hard rock mining on the property dates from the 1890's at the Dark Secret Mine. Mining at the nearby Eastside Mine and the Ingalls Vein occurred during the late 1900's with a small heap leach operation constructed at the latter property. A small open pit mining operation at the Dark Secret Mine during the 1980's reportedly shipped material to Goldfield for processing. In the pit, coalescing veins appear to form a bulk tonnage target. A chip-trench sample across the bottom of the pit returned 40 m @ 0.469 g/t Au including 20 m @ 0.695 g/t Au. Grab samples of vein material in the pit returned up to 14.1 g/t Au. Despite the past history of mining and high-grade surface mineralization on the property, there is little evidence of modern exploration activity and no known drilling.
