A total of 6,168.15m in 63 diamond core holes has been drilled to date which completes the phase 1 diamond drilling program. The Company released assays for the first 6 holes of the current drill program on
Highlights include: 8m at 804 g/t Ag and 0.45% Cu in hole AFD-020 from 56.5m downhole, a high-grade copper intercept in hole AFD-010 which returned 5.15m @ 5.03% Cu from 58.90m downhole.
Zone of Historic Drilling
All holes reported to date have been drilled in zones with prior drilling as shown on the accompanying sections 1200E, 1500E, 1550E, and 1700E. The verification and metallurgical drilling is designed to 1) infill prior drilling patterns for incorporation into a new mineral resource estimate, and 2) recover sufficient sample for metallurgical test work from representative areas of the known mineralisation. In both cross sections in this release, all historic drilling was Reverse Circulation. The results of the new diamond drilling reported here conform well to historic results, both in the overall tenor of the metals and the thickness of mineralisation. No RC holes were twinned by diamond drilling in holes reported in this NR so direct comparisons cannot be made.
Drilling at Berenguela
Aftermath's drill program at Berenguela has progressed well and the first phase of diamond drilling has now terminated. To date (
Cutting and sampling of core continues and approximately 4,403m has been cut and 3,844m sampled to date. 104 batches of samples, 3,328 drill samples in total plus 832 check samples, have been shipped to ALS's lab in Arequipa. The Company anticipates receiving regular batches of assay results in the coming months.
