Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. has completed three diamond drill holes on the Sonora Gold project. This inaugural drill campaign consists of 34 exploration drill holes spread over four mineralized areas (Sonora Copper, El Fierro, Caracahui, La Salada). The goal of the inaugural program is to intercept and delimit mineralized structures, to better define alteration footprints and to explore for the source of mineralization.

Southern Empire reports, “Drilling is progressing well, with 3 holes totalling 421 metres completed and a fourth hole, which targets an Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical anomaly where strongly oxidized, hematitic volcanic cover rocks have been mapped has started.”

“Planned definition hole SM20-50 was not only designed to fill in a drill poor gap in the past resource area and to follow the down dip mineralized plunge intercepted in drill hole SM20-47, 48 and 49, all of which reported broad zones of silver and gold bearing hydrothermal breccias with numerous higher-grade intercepts within, but also to vector in on the developing high-grade hydrothermal gold domain.”

“With these high grades and widths at depth as shown in holes 107 and 109, we have the opportunity to quickly increase the mineral resource by simply drilling the zone up to surface. 2022 will be another year of aggressive resource expansion in the Los Ricos district.”

“We have now defined a 1.2 km corridor of Au-Ag mineralization at Pilar, half of which has seen no drilling. We plan to test these target areas with systematic drilling during the Phase III drill program currently underway.”

“The latest drill results from the underground drilling program at San Marcial continue to impress, with the discovery of increasingly wide Ag intercepts at shallow depth. This result, combined with the recent high-grade, wide Ag intervals reported from drill hole SMI21-03, validates our model for the extension of the San Marcial Breccia Ag mineralization, along strike and down dip.”

Defiance Silver Corp. is pleased to announce that it has recommenced drilling at the company’s Zacatecas project in Mexico.

Ron Goguen, President & CEO of Colibri commented, “We are very pleased to have our team returning to the Evelyn Project and continuing to execute our drill plan. We will also be completing geological mapping in specific areas on the property to support our ongoing property wide interpretation and targeting for Phase 2 drilling. We are now receiving the assay results from the 3,122 metres of Phase 1 completed before the holidays and are compiling the data.”

Kootenay Silver Inc. is pleased to announce that Aztec Minerals Corp. has reported that the Aztec / Kootenay Joint Venture has completed the first 14 holes totaling 2,810.6 metres of the current 5,000 m, 22-hole Phase 2 reverse circulation drill program at the Cervantes Property located in Sonora State, Mexico.

“The results from the second 2021 drill program on the Candy vein at Nora are consistent with previous drill holes with high gold and silver grades from multiple mineralized bands within a wide altered structure. The Candy vein structure remains open for expansion along strike and to depth, and with additional strong widespread geochemical anomalies still to be tested throughout the project area at Nora suggest the potential for a significant gold-silver mineralized system.”
