Meryllion Resources (CSE: MYR) has announced the appointment of Mark J. Pryor as the company's Technical Advisor of US Exploration. With 40 years of experience in the mining industry, Pryor is currently the Executive Vice President of Exploration for a private US exploration group and holds prominent positions in other mining companies, enhancing Meryllion's strategic exploration pursuits.
The company has recently entered into a lease and option agreement for the Makenzie gold, silver, and antimony project, which Pryor introduced to Meryllion. Located 48 kilometers north-northwest of Kinross Mining's Round Mountain Gold Project in Nye County, Nevada, Makenzie is recognized as one of the state’s largest untested precious metals anomalies. According to the company's disclosure, the geological and geochemical characteristics at Makenzie show low-sulphidation epithermal mineralization, similar to the original footings of Round Mountain.
In a significant expansion, Meryllion has staked an additional 89 claims at the Makenzie site, bringing the total to 102 claims over an area of 8.24 square kilometers. This strategic acquisition is aimed at advancing Meryllion's exploration capabilities in one of the most promising regions for precious metals discovery.
Richard Revelins, Meryllion’s Chief Executive Officer, expressed optimism about having a seasoned professional like Mark Pryor on board, stating the move as pivotal for initiating their exploration program. However, due to the early exploration stage of the Makenzie project, further investigation is necessary to determine the economic potential of the site.
