There are two mineralized intervals in drill hole RDH 08, the deeper part of which intersected significant silver and copper values from 146.23m to 151.79m. These intersections appear to indicate a down dip extension of 200 metres of the main La Reforma vein below the 580m Level. The shallower mineralized sections from 34.24m to 46.07m intersected significant silver, lead and zinc values over intervals of 2.48m and 2.98m. These shallower sections appear associated with similar results in previous drilling by Penoles, particularly drill hole SCR 278. The immediate area around the Penoles drill hole SCR 278 appears prospective for near-surface mineralisation and shall be investigated in detail when drilling resumes early in 2012.
The current drill program continues to verify geological extensions of the main La Reforma structure. To date, some 500m of strike length and 200m of down dip extension has been inferred. Underground diamond drilling is being contemplated to augment the current surface drilling program as well as to accelerate the definition of extensions of the main La Reforma vein system.
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. “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 from the 2nd stage drill program continue to demonstrate highly anomalous results.”
