Alianza announces results from Phase I Haldane Silver Property work program and Phase II drilling startup
● | Bighorn anomaly expanded to now cover over 900 m of potential vein strike length |
● | Drilling scheduled to start mid-August. |
Alianza Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ANZ) (“Alianza” or the “Company”) reports results of Phase I of the 2019 field program and the scheduled start of Phase II drilling at the Haldane Property, a high-grade silver target in the historic Keno Hill Mining District of Yukon Territory.
Phase I of the program consisted of soil geochemical sampling, mapping and trenching designed to refine targets for drilling which will commence in the second week of August. The 8,579 hectare Haldane Property is located 25 km west of Keno City, YT in the western portion of the Keno Hill Silver District.
New targets generated during the 2018 field program remain as priority targets for drilling in our phase II program, stated Jason Weber, P.Geo, president and CEO of Alianza. The Phase II program is the first drill test of these new targets and their potential to host high-grade silver veins as seen elsewhere in the Keno District.
The 2019 Phase I program targeted three main areas: the newly identified Bighorn and Ross anomalies and the Mt Haldane Vein System (MHVS). Trenching was completed at the Bighorn and MHVS areas, with four trenches totaling 213 metres excavated. Mineralized faults mapped at the Bighorn target were strongly weathered at surface but returned anomalous lead and silver values. Continuous chip samples in trench BH02 returned 0.25% lead and 9.6 g/t silver over 10.9 metres, which included fault and heavily fractured and oxidized host rocks. Similar anomalous results were returned from trench BH01, 60 metres south. Significantly, soil geochemical results from the current program collected 300 metres south of BH01 on strike from the trenches returned 63 g/t silver and greater than 1% lead, suggesting high grade mineralization may be present. The series of parallel north-south structures that have been mapped coincident with the Bighorn geochemical anomaly (now 900 m long and 120-150 m wide) may be better tested by drilling.
The Phase II program is scheduled to commence in the second week of August with drill mobilization occurring on or about August 14th. The initial holes will target the Ross and Bighorn anomalies, followed by drilling at the Middlecoff Zone at the Mount Haldane Vein System to target the modelled plunge of high-grade shoots in historic workings. Approximately 1,300 metres of drilling is planned in as many as eight holes.

Alianza Minerals begins KRL Gold Property exploration program
● | Targeting high-grade surface gold mineralization |
● | Located in Golden Triangle, BC |
Alianza Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ANZ) (“Alianza” or the “Company”) reports that crews have commenced exploration targeting high-grade gold vein mineralization at the KRL Property, Golden Triangle, British Columbia. Initial sampling in 2018 returned high-grade gold values from the KRL showing, including 122 g/t gold from a 50 cm-wide quartz vein. The KRL Property is located in British Columbias prolific Golden Triangle, adjacent to Aben Resources Forrest Kerr Gold project. The property lies near the junction of McLymont Creek and the Iskut River, approximately 5 km from the McLymont Creek and Forrest Kerr power generation plants. Road access exists less than 2 km from the property boundary.
Our 2019 program at KRL is focussing on establishing the context of the high-grade gold-bearing quartz veins identified at the KRL showing by previous workers, stated Jason Weber, President and CEO of Alianza Minerals. Geological mapping and soil and rock geochemical sampling will investigate the potential for additional and more extensive veining and for additional styles of mineralization at this early stage project which was recently acquired by Alianza.
Previous work at KRL dates back to the late 1980s and includes hand trenching of quartz veins 10 100 cm in width (generally 10-50 cm wide) and exposed for as much as 60 metres on strike before becoming obscured under talus. Results of this historic work include a series of five samples, collected on one-metre spacings yielding 56.01, 35.93, 122.86, 194.23 and 64.04 g/t gold over 50-70 cm (trench 1). Another vein, sampled approximately 10 metres to the northwest, returned 248.1 g/t gold over its 10 cm width, and another at 229.47 g/t gold from a nearby 10 cm sample. At least 11 veins have been identified over a 400 m by 600 m area. Most veins are steeply-dipping with a north-westerly strike.
The 2019 program will investigate areas west and north of known mineralization, which is largely located above treeline. Prospecting, mapping and soil geochemical sampling will target prospective areas, especially where overburden and vegetation may obscure mineralization. This work will try to identify further vein mineralization as well as potential for additional styles of mineralization known to exist in the Golden Triangle. It is expected that it will take crews 10 days to execute the program. One of the key goals of this exploration program is to determine if the project has potential to expand the area of known high grade mineralization which would make it more attractive to potential earn-in partners.
Alianza has an option to earn a 100% interest in the property by conducting $2.25 million in exploration on the property over 5 years, issuing 800,000 shares of Alianza staged over five years (100,000 shares already issued), and by making staged cash payments totalling $250,000 over four years to prospector Bernie Kreft.

1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Alianza Minerals Ltd. (the Company or Alianza) was incorporated in Alberta on October 21, 2005 under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta and its registered office is Suite 410, 325 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1Z7. On April 25, 2008 the Company filed for a certificate of continuance and is continuing as a BC Company under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).
The Company is an exploration stage company and is engaged principally in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The recovery of the Companys investment in its exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the future discovery, development and sale of minerals, upon the ability to raise sufficient capital to finance these activities, and/or upon the sale of these properties.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional financing through the issuance of common shares or obtaining joint venture or property sale agreements for one or more properties.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.
Adverse financial market conditions and volatility increase the uncertainty of the Companys ability to continue as a going concern given the need to both manage expenditures and to raise additional funds. The Company is experiencing, and has experienced, negative operating cash flows. The Company will continue to search for new or alternate sources of financing but anticipates that the current market conditions may impact the ability to source such funds. Accordingly, these material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
As at June 30, 2019, the Company had working capital of $158,502 (September 30, 2018: working capital deficiency of $343,283) and shareholders equity of $3,439,555 (September 30, 2018: $2,955,852).
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) using accounting policies consistent with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).

BASIS OF PREPARATION - continued
Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for marketable securities classified as available-for-sale, which are stated at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared on the basis of IFRS standards that are published at the time of preparation.
New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the June 30, 2019 reporting period. The Company has not early adopted the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective:
·
IFRS 16 Leases (effective January 1, 2019)
The Company anticipates that the application of the above new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations will have no material impact on its results and financial position.
3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB on a basis consistent with those followed in the Companys most recent annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2018.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all note disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year ending September 30, 2019.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued
Adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward in IFRS 9, so the Companys accounting policy with respect to financial liabilities is unchanged. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, the Company made an irrevocable election upon initial recognition for equity instruments existing at October 1, 2018 and previously classified as available-for-sale, to satisfy the conditions for classification as fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). The change did not impact the carrying value of any of the Companys financial assets on the transition date.
The impact on the balance sheet from the change relating to IFRS 9 has been summarized below.
We have assessed the classification and measurement of our financial assets and financial liabilities under IFRS 9 as follows:
| Financial Assets | IAS 39 | IFRS 9 |
| Cash | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
| Receivables | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
| Marketable securities | Available-for-Sale | Fair value through profit or loss |
|
|
|
|
| Financial Liabilities |
|
|
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
| Due to related parties | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
The classification of financial assets is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Transaction costs with respect to financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss.
Comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
The Company follows the prospect generator model whereby it acquires projects on attractive terms, adds value through preliminary exploration efforts and then vends or options the project for further advancement.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to its unproven mineral right interests, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
The Company has properties in Nevada, USA (the USA Properties), in British Columbia and Yukon Territory of Canada (the Canada Properties) and in Peru (the Peru Properties). Following are summary tables of exploration and evaluation assets and brief summary descriptions of each of the exploration and evaluation assets:

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS continued
USA
On January 27, 2015, the Company signed a binding agreement to acquire eight gold properties in Nevada, USA from Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (Sandstorm) by issuing 150,000 shares to Sandstorm and granting a net smelter returns royalty ranging from 0.5% to 1.0%. The Company also granted Sandstorm a right of first refusal on any future metal streaming agreements on these properties. In 2015 and 2016, the Company dropped four of the gold properties. The properties retained are:
·
Horsethief
·
Bellview
·
East Walker
·
Ashby
a)
Horsethief
The Horsethief property is located in Lincoln County, northeast of Pioche. A 2% NSR is payable to a previous owner of the property from production from some claims on the property while a 1% NSR is payable to Sandstorm on all the claims on the property.
In 2017, the Company acquired new ground by staking an additional 33 BLM Iode mining claims at the Horsethief property.
On March 1, 2019 (Effective Date), the Company entered into an option agreement with Hochschild Mining (US) Inc. (Hochschild) whereby Hochschild could earn up to a 70% undivided interest in the Horsethief property.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Companys financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and commodity price risk.
(a)
Currency risk
The Companys property interests in Peru and USA make it subject to foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures which may adversely affect the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is affected by changes in exchange rates between the Canadian Dollar and foreign functional currencies. The Company does not invest in foreign currency contracts to mitigate the risks. The Companys exploration program, some of its general and administrative expenses and financial instruments denoted in a foreign currency are exposed to currency risk. A 10% change in the Peruvian nuevo sol and US dollar over the Canadian dollar would change the results of operations by approximately $5,800.
(b)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Companys credit risk is primarily attributable to the liquidity of its cash. The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with a large Canadian financial institution.
(c)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company ensures there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Companys holdings of cash. The Company does not have sufficient cash to settle its current liabilities, and further funding will be required to meet the Companys short-term and long-term operating needs. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current operating period.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS continued
(d)
Market risk
Market risks to which the Company is exposed include unfavorable movements in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates. As at June 30, 2019, the Company has no producing assets and holds the majority of its cash in secure, Canadian dollar-denominated deposits. Consequently, its exposure to these risks has been significantly reduced, but as the Company redeploys its cash, exposure to these risks may increase. The objective of the Company is to mitigate exposure to these risks while maximizing returns.
The Company may from time-to-time own available-for-sale marketable securities, in the mineral resource sector. Changes in the future pricing and demand of commodities can have a material impact on the market value of the investments. The nature of such investments is normally dependent on the invested company being able to raise additional capital to further develop and to determine the commercial viability of its resource properties. Management mitigates the risk of loss resulting from this concentration by monitoring the trading value of the investments on a regular basis.
i)
Interest rate risk
As at June 30, 2019, the Companys exposure to movements in interest rates was limited to potential decreases in interest income from changes to the variable portion of interest rates for its cash. Market interest rates in Canada are at historically low levels, so management does not consider the risk of interest rate declines to be significant, but should such risks increase the Company may mitigate future exposure by entering into fixed-rate deposits. A 1% change in the interest rate, with other variables unchanged, would not significantly affect the Company.
ii)
Foreign exchange risk
The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company may maintain cash and other financial instruments, or may incur revenues and expenditures in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. Significant changes in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to these foreign currencies, which may include but are not limited to US dollars and Peruvian nuevo sol, could have an effect on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.
(e)
Commodity price risk
The ability of the Company to develop its mineral properties and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of minerals such as gold, zinc, lead and copper. The Companys input costs are also affected by the price of fuel. The Company closely monitors mineral and fuel prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
IFRS 7 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL RISK
The Company considers items included in shareholders equity as capital. The Companys objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Companys ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents.
In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.
In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Companys investment policy is to invest its short-term excess cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the original date of acquisition, selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. The Companys approach to managing capital remains unchanged from the year ended September 30, 2018.
14.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As a result of the administrative practices with respect to mining taxation in Mexico, there can be significant uncertainty, in regards to when, or if, taxes are payable and the amount that may ultimately be payable. As at September 30, 2015, Mexican claim taxes totalling approximately $766,000 had been levied. Of this amount, $563,000 ($193,000 for 2014 and $370,000 for 2015) related to properties that were held by Minera Tarsis, S.A. de C.V., which the Company had applied to wind up, and $203,000 ($63,000 for 2014 and $140,000 for 2015) related to properties being acquired. On February 16, 2016, the Company sold all its Mexican properties, Yago, Mezquites and San Pedro, to Almadex, and reduced the claim taxes to $173,783. These taxes will never be paid in full and any amount that will, or might, be payable cannot realistically be determined at this time. Accordingly, these taxes have been disclosed as a contingent liability, and not recognized as a liability or provision.

MAJOR INTERIM PERIOD OPERATING MILESTONES
Haldane, Yukon Territory, Canada
On December 4, 2018, the Company announced that it received a Class 3 Mining Land Use approval for the Haldane Silver Project, located in the historic Keno Mining District, Yukon Territory. This approval is valid until November 25, 2028 and is subject to the standard restrictions and conditions contained in the Yukon Quartz Mining Act and the Quartz Mining Land Use Regulations. This approval allows the Company to move forward without delay at Haldane in 2019.
On May 8, 2019, the Company reports that planning is underway for the 2019 field program at the Haldane Property, a high-grade silver target in the historic Keno Hill Mining District of Yukon Territory. The first phase of the program, consisting of additional soil geochemistry, mapping and trenching, has been completed to help refine targets for drilling in August. The 8,579 hectare Haldane Silver Property is located 25 km west of Keno City, YT in the western portion of the Keno Hill Silver District.
The 2019 Phase I program targeted three main areas: the newly identified Bighorn and Ross anomalies and the Mt Haldane Vein System (MHVS). Trenching was completed at the Bighorn and MHVS areas, with four trenches totaling 213 metres excavated. Mineralized faults mapped at the Bighorn target were strongly weathered at surface but returned anomalous lead and silver values. Continuous chip samples in trench BH02 returned 0.25% lead and 9.6 g/t silver over 10.9 metres, which included fault and heavily fractured and oxidized host rocks. Similar anomalous results were returned from trench BH01, 60 metres south. Significantly, soil geochemical results from the current program collected 300 metres south of BH01 on strike from the trenches returned 63 g/t silver and greater than 1% lead, suggesting high grade mineralization may be present. The series of parallel north-south structures that have been mapped coincident with the Bighorn geochemical anomaly (now 900 m long and 120-150 m wide) may be better tested by drilling.
The Phase II program is scheduled to commence in the second week of August with drill mobilization occurring on or about August 14th. The initial holes will target the Ross and Bighorn anomalies, followed by drilling at the Middlecoff Zone at the Mount Haldane Vein System to target the modelled plunge of high-grade shoots in historic workings. Approximately 1,300 metres of drilling is planned in as many as eight holes.
KRL, British Columbia, Canada
On November 7, the Company reported that sampling at the recently-optioned the KRL Property had returned high-grade gold values from the KRL showing, including 122 g/t gold from a 50 cm-wide quartz vein. A total of 12 grab samples were collected from two steeply-dipping northwesterly and two northeasterly-oriented quartz veins in the vicinity of the KRL showing. Sampled veins range from 10-50 cm in width. The northeasterly-oriented veins correlate with historic trenches 1 and 7. Four samples of a 40-50 cm-wide vein (historic Trench 1) returned 3.15, 8.24, 122 and 7.94 g/t gold, respectively. These were collected over 18 metres strike length and compare favourably to historically reported results. Three samples were also collected from historic Trench 7 over a strike length of 16 metres, returning 7.43, 22.4 and 0.235 g/t gold from a 30 cm-wide vein, also confirming historic sampling. Veins are variably-banded, white to grey quartz with brown to yellow-orange limonitic weathering. Higher-grade gold mineralization appears to correlate with the presence of sulphides, particularly chalcopyrite. A map with the 2018 results can be found on the Companys website at https://alianzaminerals.com/project/krlgold/.
Previous work at KRL dates back to the late 1980s and includes hand trenching of quartz veins 10 100 centimetres (cm) in width (generally 10-50 cm wide) and exposed for as much as 60 metres (m) on strike before becoming obscured under talus. Results of this work include a series of five channel samples, collected on one-metre spacings yielding 56.01, 35.93, 122.86, 194.23 and 64.04 g/t gold over 50-70 cm. Another vein, sampled approximately 10 m to the northwest, returned 248.1 g/t gold over its 10 cm width, and another at 229.47 g/t from a nearby 10 cm channel sample. At least 11 veins have been identified over a 400 m by 600 m area. Most veins are steeply-dipping with a north-westerly strike.
Tim Property, Yukon Territory, Canada
In 2013, the Companys predecessor, Tarsis Resources Ltd. (Tarsis) completed a focused work program to re-evaluate a historical zone of silver-lead-zinc rich carbonate replacement mineralization originally exposed by mechanized trenching in 1988. Historical chip sampling across the zone returned 352 g/t silver and 9.12% lead across 4.00 metres. In addition to this exposure, similar mineralization was also reported in adjacent trenches 180 and 250 metres on either side of the central trench. This zone has never been tested with drilling. Tarsis resampled the central trench in 2013, returning 3.7 metres assaying 365 g/t silver and 7.5% lead from a channel sample.
On June 10, 2019, the Company announced that it signed a letter of intent with Coeur Explorations, Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Coeur Mining, Inc. (NYSE:CDE) (Coeur) to explore the road-accessible Tim Property in southern Yukon Territory. Exploration at the Tim Property is targeting high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization similar to that being mined by Coeur at its Silvertip mine located 12 km to the south of the Tim Property.
Coeur can earn a 51% interest in the property by funding $3.5 million in exploration over 5 years and making staged cash payments totalling $275,000. Coeur can elect to complete the option to earn 80% in the property by funding a positive feasibility study in the following three years and making annual payments of $100,000.
The 2019 exploration program at the Tim Property will target high-grade silver-lead-zinc carbonate replacement mineralization (CRM) similar in style to that found at Silvertip. Coeurs tentative plans are similar to those recently announced by the Company and will consist of detailed mapping, soil geochemical surveys and reopening old trenches dating back to 1988.
Additionally, the Company is a successful applicant for a YMEP (Yukon Mining Exploration Program) grant for the Tim project. Under the YMEP Target Evaluation program, the Yukon government provides successful applicants funding to support mineral exploration activities for 50% of eligible expenditures to a maximum of $40,000.
Bellview, Nevada, USA
The Bellview property is located in White Pine County, 85 km south of Elko, Nevada and 13 km north of the Bald Mountain Gold Mine on the southern extension of the Carlin Trend. Bellview features a geological setting prospective for sediment-hosted gold mineralization. Work by a previous operator identified stratigraphic targets similar to the geologic setting observed at Bald Mountain. Targets are primarily defined by gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies and gold-bearing silicified jasperoid breccias in stratigraphy recognized regionally and at the Bald Mountain Mine to host gold mineralization.
On February 7, 2019 (Effective Date), the Company entered into an option agreement with Hochschild Mining (US) Inc. (Hochschild) whereby Hochschild could earn up to a 70% undivided interest in the Bellview property.
Under the terms of the agreement, Hochschild could earn an initial 60% interest in the project by US$3,500,000 in exploration on the property over a 5.5 year period, with a minimum expenditure as below:
Period | Defined Term | Minimum Qualifying Expenditure |
18 months from the Effective Date | Agreement Year 1 | US$100,000 |
From the end of Agreement Year 1 to 30 months after Effective Date | Agreement Year 2 | US$500,000 |
From the end of Agreement Year 2 to 42 months after Effective Date | Agreement Year 3 | US$500,000 |
From the end of Agreement Year 3 to 54 months after Effective Date | Agreement Year 4 | US$500,000 |
Within 60 days of acceptance of the first option, Hochschild may elect to undertake a second option to earn an additional 10% (total 70%) in the property by funding a further US$3,500,000 in exploration over 3 years (minimum US$500,000 in exploration per year).
On May 1, 2019, the Company announced that the field work at Bellview started. A magnetics survey is underway to identify important structural features that may represent goldbearing fluid conduits and determine if any buried intrusive bodies are associated with alteration and mineralization on the property. The survey will assist in targeting future drill programs.
As of June 30, 2019, Hochschild had forwarded a total of $138,484 (US$105,818) for the Bellview property. The Company held $33,367 (US$25,497) on behalf of Hochschild to be spent on the Bellview property, which is recorded as restricted cash.
BP, Nevada, USA
The BP property is located in Elko County, 57 km south of Carlin, Nevada and 41 km northwest of the Bald Mountain Mine. The property has had little previous gold exploration prior to a reconnaissance program in 2010 that identified gold-bearing jasperoid and anomalous gold and pathfinder geochemistry on surface. Alianza conducted a mapping and prospecting program in 2017 that identified potential structural conduits for mineralizing fluid flow as evidenced by anomalous pathfinder geochemistry and the presence of barite, clay alteration and limonite staining near the intersections of prominent structures. Additional evidence of favourable structural setting is seen in the eastern portion of the property where repetition of the stratigraphy suggests a series of northeast trending structures. Significantly, new jasperoid occurrences were identified along the aforementioned structures in proximity to the projected intersection with northwest trending graben structures. Jasperoids are elevated in gold and pathfinder geochemistry, including arsenic, barium, mercury, molybdenum and antimony.
On March 1, 2019 (Effective Date), the Company entered into an option agreement with Hochschild whereby Hochschild could earn up to a 70% undivided interest in the Horsethief property.
Under the terms of the agreement, Hochschild could earn an initial 60% interest in the project by US$2,500,000 in exploration on the property over a 4.5 year period, with a minimum expenditure as below:
Period | Defined Term | Minimum Qualifying Expenditure |
18 months from the Effective Date | Agreement Year 1 | US$100,000 |
12 months from the end of Agreement Year 1 | Agreement Year 2 | US$500,000 |
12 months from the end of Agreement Year 2 | Agreement Year 3 | US$500,000 |
12 months from the end of Agreement Year 3 | Agreement Year 4 | US$500,000 |
Within 60 days of acceptance of the first option, Hochschild may elect to undertake a second option to earn an additional 10% (total 70%) in the property by funding a further US$2,500,000 in exploration over 3 years (minimum US$500,000 in exploration per year).
The 2019 program is expected to occur in two phases. The first consisting of mapping and geochemical sampling occurs in June and July, with a second phase of detailed mapping and sampling, and possibly geophysics to be completed in September.
As of June 30, 2019, Hochschild had forwarded a total of $113,244 (US$86,532) for the BP property. The Company held $23,276 (US$17,786) on behalf of Hochschild to be spent on the BP property, which is recorded as restricted cash.
Horsethief, Nevada, USA
Exploration at Horsethief is targeting sediment-hosted gold mineralization in a window of Cambrian carbonate rocks overlain by volcanic flows and pyroclastics. Work by prior operators included mapping and sampling hematite-rich jasperoid breccia outcrops and shallow drilling. Historic drilling, generally 100 metres or less in depth, returned multiple intervals of gold mineralization including 13.7 metres averaging 1.2 g/t gold and 39.6 metres averaging 0.79 g/t gold with four holes terminating in mineralization. Subsequent geophysical surveys (Induced Polarization chargeability and resistivity) indicate that stratigraphy and potentially mineralized targets dip to the east under the volcanic cover and below the extent of prior drilling.
On March 1, 2019 (Effective Date), the Company entered into an option agreement with Hochschild whereby Hochschild could earn up to a 70% undivided interest in the Horsethief property.
Under the terms of the agreement, Hochschild could earn an initial 60% interest in the project by US$5,000,000 in exploration on the property over a 5.5 year period, with a minimum expenditure as below:
Period | Defined Term | Minimum Qualifying Expenditure |
18 months from the Effective Date | Agreement Year 1 | US$500,000 |
12 months from the end of Agreement Year 1 | Agreement Year 2 | US$500,000 |
12 months from the end of Agreement Year 2 | Agreement Year 3 | US$500,000 |
12 months from the end of Agreement Year 3 | Agreement Year 4 | US$500,000 |
12 months from the end of Agreement Year 4 | Agreement Year 5 | US$500,000 |
Within 60 days of acceptance of the first option, Hochschild may elect to undertake a second option to earn an additional 10% (total 70%) in the property by funding a further US$5,000,000 in exploration over 3 years (minimum US$500,000 in exploration per year).
On May 1, 2019, the Company announced that the field work at Horsethief started. The current program includes mapping and geochemical sampling to refine targets for subsequent drilling. This work will focus on mapping alteration, structure and stratigraphy to focus drill targeting based on potential fluid conduits in prospective rock units in the stratigraphy. Management is also contemplating reprocessing magnetic, Induced Polarization (IP) and resistivity data collected by a previous operator to aid in drill targeting.
As of June 30, 2019, Hochschild had forwarded a total of $342,335 (US$261,584) for the Horsethief property. The Company held $144,221(US$110,202) on behalf of Hochschild to be spent on the Horsethief property, which is recorded as restricted cash.

SIGNIFICANT RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the quarter, there was no significant transaction between related parties.
COMMITMENTS, EXPECTED OR UNEXPECTED, OR UNCERTAINTIES
As a result of the administrative practices with respect to mining taxation in Mexico, there can be significant uncertainty, in regards to when, or if, taxes are payable and the amount that may ultimately be payable. As at September 30, 2015, Mexican claim taxes totaling approximately $766,000 had been levied. Of this amount, $563,000 relates to properties that were held by Minera Tarsis, S.A. de C.V., which the Company has applied to wind up, and $203,000 relates to properties being acquired. On February 16, 2016, the Company sold all its Mexican properties to Almadex, and reduced the claim taxes to $173,783. These taxes will never be paid in full and any amount that will, or might, be payable cannot realistically be determined at this time. Accordingly, these taxes have been disclosed as a contingent liability, and not recognized as a liability or provision.
As of the date of the MD&A, the Company has no outstanding commitments.
Other than disclosed in this MD&A Quarterly Highlights, the Company does not have any commitments, expected or unexpected, or uncertainties.
