VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silverado Gold Mines Ltd. (OTCBB:SLGLF) (Frankfurt:SLGL) (www.silverado.com) (the "Company" or "Silverado") is pleased to release the second installment assay results from the 2009 drill program from the Company's Nolan Creek property in Alaska.
The results are from the Pringle Bench section of the Solomon Shear Zone (see news release of September 3rd and 4th, 2009 on website). Gold and antimony grades in the southern portion of Pringle Bench near Smith Creek are comparable to past results and are significant.
Progression of drilling in a northeast direction along the strike of the Pringle Bench mineralized zone intersected an area of trenching where previous surface samples assayed 5.22 ounces per ton gold (opt) across 16.4 feet, (see press release of May 1, 2009). In this location, drill hole 09SH18 intercepted a one foot thick section of quartz-stibnite mineralization (0.8 feet true width), assaying 5.72 opt and 37.73 percent antimony.
