The first two holes completed, LV5039 and LV5040, intersected thick massive sulphide intervals associated with the Juarez Limestone over 5.60m and 4.35m respectively. Assays are pending but visual analysis shows mineralisation comprises banded textured massive sulphides with very fine to fine-grained pyrite overprinted by coarse-grained yellow to reddish sphalerite and minor galena associated with carbonates.

J.D. Poliquin, chairman of Almaden stated, “We are very encouraged to be outlining this new mineralized zone in an area modelled as waste for stripping within our PFS pit, and look forward to the inclusion of this new zone in future mine plans. Ongoing drilling will continue to seek more such zones even as the engineering work and feasibility study progress.”

Ante la petición de la empresa canadiense, el gobernador dijo “nosotros esperamos que este sea un asunto que encuentre un camino de solución, porque a nadie la conviene lo que está pasando y nosotros vamos a intervenir cuando tengamos la posibilidad legal de intervenir”.

“These final results of the drill program are again a reminder of the high-grade nature of the breccia mineralization within the proposed open pit at Ana Paula and give us further confidence in our existing block model,” said Greg McCunn, Chief Executive Officer. “We are excited to be turning our attention to testing the extension of the breccia zone below the proposed pre-feasibility study pit with a 6 hole, 4,000 metre program that is expected to begin in early January. This surface drill program will be undertaken in parallel to the construction of the underground decline which is being driven into the mineralized area to allow further drill testing from underground.”

Brian Metzenheim, Gainey Capital’s VP of Exploration commented, “The style of mineralization found in the shears may represent the upper extents of a moderately sized porphyry deposit that could host economic grades of copper, gold, and silver. I am encouraged by the regional distribution of the shears and the consistency of grades and alteration hosted by them and look forward to initiating exploration work on the project.”
