VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Pacific Mining Corp (“APM” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that shares will begin trading at market open on March 8, 2018 under the ticker symbol “USGD” on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE). American Pacific Mining is a junior resource company exploring and advancing precious metal opportunities in the United States, with a focus on highly productive gold districts in the Western states. The company’s flagship property, Tuscarora, is an early stage, high grade prospect located in a modern day gold producing region of Nevada. The project was optioned from NOVO Resources Corp (TSXV:NVO) in November of 2017.
"I am excited to work with the team at American Pacific Mining as we realize the strong potential of the newly acquired Tuscarora project,” commented Eric Saderholm, President & Director. “The Tuscarora district is an epithermal gold vein system that is located near Elko, Nevada along the northwestern projection of the Carlin Trend. The historic mines produced high grades of gold and silver along extensive vein structures. The numerous vein systems are weakly exposed at the surface and then project under gravel cover, currently open for exploration. Most mining of ores occurred in the late 1800's when all mining and exploration techniques were very primitive. Sparse exploration drilling during the past 30 years encountered numerous high-grade gold intercepts that are currently being evaluated and this data will drive further exploration. American Pacific will build upon previous exploration work and use the most modern geophysical and drilling techniques to test this exciting, promising district. It was the potential of this project and the tight structure and commitment of American Pacific Mining that lured me into leaving a quality position with Newmont Mining. There is an upcoming emergence of profitable, mid-tier mining companies and we will be leaders in the exploration space as this trend continues."
