Prize Mining Reports First Results From Diamond Drilling and Continued Surface Sampling at the Manto Negro Copper Project
The first holes at Manto Negro are giving us a good sense of the style and continuity of copper-silver mineralization, stated Michael McPhie, President & CEO of Prize Mining. Unlike porphyry copper deposits that have a strong vertical component, the stratabound nature of the deposits at Manto Negro gives them a tremendous lateral extent. The two areas being drilled are 18 kilometres apart and, at the Pilar Grande area, we can now trace the mineralization intermittently for about four kilometres. The grades and thicknesses we are seeing are consistent with those from the world class Kupferschiefer deposits in Europe.
