Shoshone Silver Increases Western Gold Group
August 3, 2007-- Shoshone Silver Mining is pleased to announce it has increased its Western Gold Group to a total of 13 claims covering approximately 240 acres. The Western Gold Group is located in the Oatman Mining District, the most productive primary gold district in Arizona with over two million ounces of recorded production at average grades exceeding one-half ounce per ton. Shoshone now controls 560 acres of land in the Oatman District.
The claims cover and surround historic workings in the district, and are located one mile west of the Gold Road Mine and one mile north of the United Western Mine, both owned and formerly operated by Addwest Minerals. Gold deposition appears to be a late feature associated with the Moss porphyry intrusion. The gold bearing ore bodies of the Oatman District are located along northwest trending veins and faults. The main mineralized structures within the property are the United and Middle veins. These veins were mined at the United Western and United Eastern Mines. Electrum is the predominant ore mineral. Gangue minerals include quartz, calcite, adularia, minor fluorite, and trace amounts of pyrite, marcasite, and chalcopyrite.
