Vancouver, British Columbia - Norseman Silver Inc. (TSXV:NOC) OTCQB:NOCSF) ('Norseman' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce rock chip samples which were collected from the Veta Nueva vein, another significant vein structure located about 5 kms. northwest of the Veta Juan vein, picked up very encouraging assay values. Norseman Silver has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Taquetren Project.
'These recent results highlight the potential of the Taquetren Project which is very unique, since it has seen little or no previous exploration for base or precious metals. Considering the projects proximity to significant discoveries and the sheer size of the project (6 cateos or prospecting permits totalling ~59,000 ha), this represents an exciting opportunity for Norseman. The results to date, in particular the copper grades are very encouraging.' Stated Sean Hurd, President & CEO.
The upcoming program at Taquetren will involve more detailed surface work along the 5-km. target corridor. Multi-element soil grid geochemistry as well as more detailed geologic mapping and rock sampling shall be carried out within an area of about 3,000 hectares. The same soil survey area shall also be covered by ground magnetics, the complementary results of which will eventually be utilized to design the ground IP-Resistivity survey layout.
Through the course of the detailed surface studies at the initial target area, prospecting work shall be carried out simultaneously within the rest of the expanse of the six (6) cateos. With the encouraging results of the 2021 surface exploration work, the likelihood of finding additional target zones for further detailed studies remain high.
Rock chip samples which were collected from the Veta Nueva vein, another significant vein structure located about 5 kms. northwest of the Veta Juan vein, picked up very encouraging assay values. Two (2) samples showed average values of 4.11% Cu and 67 ppm Ag. The vein which has a currently exposed width of 2.70 meters resembles closely Veta Juan and is characterized by strong disseminations of chalcopyrite and bornite associated with malachite and azurite.
Along the same zone of Veta Nueva, a separate 0.25 cm.-wide vein of the same character was also mapped out about 3 meters to the east of Veta Nueva. One sample from this vein (Veta Mirasol) returned 4.20% Cu and 54 ppm Ag. These latest field findings strongly suggest the possible existence of significantly wider veins and the potential of finding other vein zones along the 5 km. NW-SE trending mineralized corridor which bounds the perceived caldera structure between the Veta Juan and Veta Nueva occurrences.
New mineralized vein structures with currently exposed zones ranging from 1.00 to 2.10 meters were discovered along the trenches at the Area Irma. The veins generally strike northeast parallel to the veins delineated in the Veta Juan and Veta Nueva areas. Quartz with fresh pyrite and chalcopyrite disseminations and significantly stained with Fe oxides were observed along rock outcrops. Two vein sets trending E-W and NE-SW were mapped out and these closely relate to both the deposit types of the Calcatreu and Mina Angela veins located to the SE of the Taquetren property.
Eighteen (18) rock outcrop samples collected along three (3) shallow diggings at the Area Irma picked up anomalous values for gold. The exposed quartz-sulfide vein zones lie along a NE-trending strike that extends to about 350 meters. Eight (8) samples assayed > 0.80 g/t Au with a high of up to 11.48 g/t Au. Associated silver mineralization came out anomalous as well picking up a high of 22.6 g/t Ag. Copper values are relatively subdued compared to the veins in the Veta Juan and Veta Nueva areas but Pb is up to 1.48% and Zn is as high as 0.24%. Arsenic is also anomalous with values of up to 1,064 ppm.
