VANCOUVER, Aug. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Symbol:-TSX-V:VR OTCQX:VRCFF
Victory Resources Corp. (the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the current drill program on the Reforma property.
The most recent drill hole on the La Reforma that encountered significant mineralization was RDH 11 which intersected a zone from 198.12m to 207.87m of galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite in skarn. Drill core samples were sent to ALS Chemex in Hermosillo, Mexico for analysis.
The current surface drill program is to explore for geological extensions of the main La Reforma structure particularly at depth. In connection with the overall exploration program of La Reforma the company expects to announce shortly assay results of underground sampling of sulfide bearing skarn in old drifts, sub-levels and stoping areas that has recently become accessible. The ongoing work programs are intended to outline the vein system to the South as well as to the North of the main structure.
“The main objective of the current exploration program is to define a mineral resource of substantial scale to justify a preliminary economic assessment,” stated Wally Boguski, President and CEO, “We are very encouraged that the results previously announced demonstrate highly anomalous results.”
The La Reforma Property was operated by Penoles Industries SA de CV between the years 1968 to 1980. During this period of lower metal prices, the La Reforma mine processed 1.8 million tons of complex ore grading an average of 91.62 grams per ton Ag, 1.90%, Pb, 7.44% Zn and 0.63% Cu.
Mr. Ruben Verzosa, P. Eng., a Qualified Person (QP) as defined by NI 43-101 has approved the geological content of this Press Release.
