Detailed geological mapping, trenching and soil sampling is successfully identifying drill targets in new areas. This work is revealing vein outcrops and coarse in-situ vein rubble in the El Dorado target and the Morales target to the west and south of La Ivana drilling. Photos 1 through 3 show newly discovered outcropping vein and workings in the El Dorado and Morales targets. Morales is located one kilometre to the west of the Roberto Tovar target further expanding the potential scale of Santa Ana.
Eight new drill-holes have been completed to date at La Ivana target for a total of 975 metres of drilling with assays pending. There are significant intervals of quartz-sulfide veins with sulfide-rich halos in the holes. Epithermal textures are expressed as colloform, banded quartz and breccias. Massive sulfides are common within vein intervals. The first assays are expected next week and will be released as they are received.
Soil sampling has been completed on the Megapozo,
At least five anomalous zones of gold and silver have been indentified at Megapoza, four of which present high values for both gold and silver, associated with the Paraiso, Miraflores and La Porfia veins. These results confirm the presence of an important regional ore shoot zone at Megapoza, possibly associated with the convergence of these veins.
'It is encouraging to see new targets supported by soil samples that correlate with newly discovered vein outcrop and workings. Veins and mineralization are expressing well in soil samples as indicated by an unusual soil assay high of 11.8 ppm gold,' comments
Soil sampling continues on the project, with 15 lines representing 5 linear kilometers, with sample intervals of 10 metres. 505 samples have been collected and partial results received for 170 samples. Significant anomalies in soils up to a high of 11.75 g Au/t and 336 g Ag/t occur. On soil lines the sample interval is 10 metres - commonly anomalies are from 30 to 50 metres wide - suggesting more than one vein is reflected in each anomalous zone. The results also show a very strong correlation to arsenic, lead and antimony confirming an epithermal event.
In addition to the ongoing drill program and soil sampling, mechanical trenching has recently commenced progressing future drill targets.
About
The Santa Ana project comprises 3,538 ha located in the Municipality of Falan,
Historic mining depths support a geologic and exploration model for a composite mesothermal and epithermal vein system having mineralization that likely extends to great depth. At Santa Ana it is unlikely that there is sharp elevation restriction common to high-grade zones in many epithermal systems with no mesozonal component.
At least eleven principle vein zones are recognized on the project that cumulatively provide up to 14 km of strike length - La Ivana (including the La Porfia vein system),
