.
Vancouver, BC – Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc. (CSE symbol “HHS”, OTC symbol “HHSRF”, Stuttgart Symbol “H9”), the “Company,” “Hi Ho,” announces that it has reached an agreement in principle to option the Windpass Gold property, located northeast of Kamloops in the Little Fort area of southern British Columbia, Canada. Terms of the proposed transaction will be finalized following an examination of the property.
The property is drive-to and holds several historic quartz vein mines from which reported production of 81,000 tons yielded 32,026 ounces of gold. A National Instrument 43-101 report (2012) by N.Tribe, P.Eng. reported historical stope sampling and suggests that stopes were mined at approximately 1 ounce per ton.
Two dumps are present on the property; with the Windpass Waste Dump containing 125,000 tonnes grading 1.749 g/t gold, and the Sweethome Waste Dump containing 39,000 tonnes at 1.5 g/t gold. Sampling and measurement of the dumps were reported in the above quoted report.
There are no official resources or reserves on the property as the reports are not current .
Evaluation of the property and measurement and resampling of the dumps will be undertaken with a view to early removal of the dumps for treatment offsite and recovery of gold values.
The vein systems contain magnetite and are responsive to geophysical studies. An exploration program will be considered to outline exploration targets within the old mine areas and in areas of undeveloped vein systems.
Field work, mapping, sampling and geophysical surveying will be planned in this area for the next summer field season.
