INITIAL DRILLING AT SANTO TOMAS CONFIRMS GRADESHELL MODEL
Drilling of holes N001 to N003 confirms that the dip of the 2009 Gradeshell Model and the edge of the Chargeability High in the 3D IP are closely co-incident and reliable guides for the drilling program.
- Drilling of holes N001 to N003 confirms that the dip of the 2009 Gradeshell Model and the edge of the Chargeability High in the 3D IP are closely co-incident and reliable guides for the drilling program.
- The anomaly passes the 600m depth limit of the 3D IP survey, indicating a broad zone of drilling targets at depth below the limit of the Gradeshell Model.
- Additionally, drilling confirms that the North Zone is comprised of intensely fractured, potassic- and phyllic-altered andesite volcanics and Laramide-age porphyritic intrusive dikes.
- The Project is situated within the Santo Tomas District, which extends from Santo Tomas up to the Jinchuan Groups Bahuerachi project, approximately 14 km to the north-east.
