Stakeholder begins 2016 ground-truthing at Ballarat

Stakeholder Gold Corp. June 14 reported that exploration is underway at its Ballarat gold project, located about 16 kilometers (10 miles) northeast of Kaminak Gold's Coffee project in the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory.

GroundTruth Exploration Inc. is carrying out the roughly four-week exploration program that will investigate the Ballarat's Northwest and the Eastern zones.

Planned work for this phase 1 program includes: a drone-generated high resolution topographic survey of the entire property; detailed geological mapping of Northwest and Eastern zones; induced polarization-DC resistivity surveys at both properties; bedrock interface sampling at the Northwest zone with GroundTruth's exclusive GT Probe drill .; and conventional soil sampling at the Eastern zone.

Pending success, Stakeholder is planning a phase II program for 2016 that will include rotary air blast drilling of targets defined during the initial phase.
