J.D. Poliquin, chairman of Almaden stated, “Today’s results once again show the presence of the high grade veins on the Tuligtic project. While we are now focussed on developing the Ixtaca deposit into a significant precious metals producer in Mexico, and are currently busy with engineering work and studies towards producing a PFS, this exploration drilling demonstrates additional resource potential both laterally and, because we are at the top of a fully preserved epithermal system, future exploration drilling will also test for feeder veins beneath the Ixtaca sheeted vein zone.”
