Silver Cloud has changed hands several times

Greg Schifrin, the chief executive officer of Blackrock Gold Corporation (CVE:BRC), recently visited the Silver Cloud property in Elko County, Nevada, to evaluate the property.

While there, Schifrin looked at potential drill targets on the recently optioned property, with the company looking to kick off its drilling campaign in the summer.

A review of all the historic Silver Cloud Property data from parties that had previously leased the asset is under examination.

The data review and 3-D modeling of the previous drill data will help in the location of drill targets for Blackrock Gold Corp's 2018 drill campaign, the company said.

All being well, the historical data review will be completed within the next couple of weeks.

In addition, Blackrock is in the process of completing a drill permit notification for the Silver Cloud property that will be submitted to the Bureau of Land Management Elko District Office.

The drill permit notification will be submitted shortly after the data review is complete and drill site locations are sited on the ground.

"The hot spring sinters at Silver Cloud are massive and extensive and very similar in characteristics to the Hollister Mine right next door,” said Schifrin.

“The previous high-grade gold intercepts at Silver Cloud in the historic drilling by Teck and Placer Dome are very encouraging for continued positive results at this project," he added.
