Lead, South Dakota, Sept. 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dakota Territory Resource Corp (OTCQB: DTRC) ("Dakota Territory" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that the Company has increased its land holdings in the Homestake District of the Black Hills of South Dakota through the staking of 50 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 840 acres at the historic Ragged Top Gold Camp. Tertiary-aged gold mineralization in the Ragged Top area is hosted primarily in the Paha Sapa Limestone formation and has been mined from both vertical fissures called “Verticals” and from collapsed breccias. Dakota’s latest property acquisition is located just northwest of the producing Wharf Mine (Coeur Mining) and approximately 3 miles southwest of the former Richmond Hill Mine (Barrick Gold). Dakota Territory believes that the Property is an excellent prospect for additional tertiary-aged limestone hosted gold mineralization and for tertiary-aged gold and silver replacement mineralization in the preferred Deadwood formation host that lies under the cover of the limestone that dominates the surface exposure.
With this acquisition, Dakota Territory now controls approximately 12,238 acres of brownfields mineral property in Homestake District of the Black Hills of South Dakota. The Company is committed to strategically expanding its dominant land package in the District as we believe interest will grow for gold exploration projects located in safe, low cost jurisdictions of the United States with a history of large-scale gold production.
Brian L. Cole, Professional Geoscientist, has reviewed the technical disclosure contained in this news release and is a Qualified Person of the Company.
