VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2017 / Eureka Resources, Inc. (EUK.V) ("Eureka" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that exploration has commenced on its TAK property ("TAK"), Yukon Territory. The property is located in the heart of the very active Dawson Range Gold Belt, approximately 120 kilometres southeast of Dawson City, and consists of 82 mining claims (1,695 hectares).
Michael Sweatman, Eureka's President and CEO stated: "This initial program, which will be comprised of a ground magnetic survey and a VLF electromagnetic survey is the first step of exploration on the TAK property, one of our recently acquired Yukon properties."
The work will be performed and directed by Aurora Geosciences of Whitehorse. The data obtained from the surveys will provide Eureka with valuable information to assist in the development of a Phase 2 exploration plan for TAK. Since acquiring TAK, the Company's technical group has commenced a review of all the historical data acquired as part of the transaction.
