Comstock Discovers a New Zone of Porphyry-Style Gold Mineralization-Drill Hole Ended in Strong Gold Mineralization After Drilling 34.5 m of 0.36 g/t Gold
Comstock Metals Ltd. is pleased to announce the discovery of porphyry-style gold mineralization from its core drilling programme at the Corona Project in the Uruachic-Ocampo District of western Chihuahua, Mexico. The Uruachic-Ocampo District is host to several multi million-ounce gold/silver deposits, including Fresnillo PLC’s Orisyvo Deposit with a reported resource of 9.2 Million ounces of gold. At Corona, porphyry-style gold mineralization has been identified, and remains open to the north, east and at depth. The most recent eight drill holes completed by Comstock intersected favourable geology and strong alteration east and southeast of the Northeast Zone, stepping-out up to 350 m from holes drilled in 2002-2003. A new zone of porphyry-style gold mineralization was intersected beneath the previously reported vuggy silica lithocap (see CSL news release dated April 2, 2012 for results of holes CO-12-60 to 62).
