The exploration program planned by Silver Spruce includes prospecting, rock, soil and stream sampling, and initial geological and structural mapping of areas exhibiting significant alteration or mineralization.
“Silver Spruce now has experienced boots on the ground at our large grassroots property in a very productive region only two kilometres from our El Mezquite property and adjacent to Minera Alamos’ Santana project. We have maintained technical continuity in our Sonora-based geological team which started working this past week on the Jackie property,” said Greg Davison, Silver Spruce VP Exploration.”
The high-grade gold and silver values returned from the drill program, particularly drill holes NRC-20-04 and NRC-20-06, are extremely encouraging and exceed expectations from a first drill program at the Nora project.
“The feasibility resource estimation will include 21 veins (5 veins containing a majority of the high-grade mineralization) of the known 45 veins. The best opportunities for resource expansion for the upcoming Feasibility Study are the Babi Vista Vein and Babi Vista Splay Vein, which were both discovered after the PEA release.”
Golden Minerals President and Chief Executive Officer, Warren Rehn, commented today, “I’m very pleased to announce that Golden Minerals has officially transitioned to gold-silver producer from exploration company. Despite the Covid-19-related uncertainties of the past year, we’ve been able to develop this project and put it into production ahead of schedule and on budget.”
Capstone have indicated that they have planned an initial 2,500m drilling program as part of their required $450,000 USD expenditure commitment for 2021. Drill locations will be finalised following interpretation of the IP report, with provisional planning well underway.
The La Esperanza silver-gold-zinc-lead project covers 14,916 hectares, located 100 km SSE of the city of Durango in southern Durango and northern Zacatecas States, Mexico. The project is easily accessible from Canasil’s operating base in Durango with excellent infrastructure. The project is located on the well-recognized world class Fresnillo silver belt, hosting a number of prominent silver mines such as the San Martin-Sabinas mines of Grupo Mexico and Industrias Peñoles, the La Colorada mine of Pan American Silver Corp., Fresnillo PLC’s Fresnillo mine, and the Fresnillo-MAG Silver Corp. Juanicipio mine.
“We are extremely impressed with the exploration results of 2020 from the Evelyn property including the high grades of some of the recent trench sampling. Our plan for 2021 is to capitalize on this momentum and swiftly prepare for a drilling program on the Evelyn Gold Project,” said Ron Goguen, President & CEO of Colibri.
Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “We are pleased to have drill-tested the Santa Rosalia target, which is only the first of four target areas along a 2.5 km mineralized trend. Results have demonstrated a structural complex environment that Riverside’s team is reviewing and using for refining and developing more targets that we look forward to testing in the coming months at Cuarentas.”
Vizsla President and CEO, Michael Konnert, commented: “The first results for 2021 are very encouraging. Tajitos continues to deliver high silver and gold grades and wide widths in areas of historic mining. The Company is expanding the known zones and stepping along strike for new bodies of mineralization in a systematic step-out drilling program that continues into 2021. The Company has commenced drilling for the year with five rigs in operation that continue to expand earlier discoveries and demonstrate the overall potential of the Panuco district.”
