VANCOUVER, Oct. 31, 2012 /CNW/ – Victory Resources Corp. (the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the current drill program on the La Reforma property as well as metallurgical testing of bulk samples from the Matanza and the Altamira tailings ponds.
The most recent results from the current drill program were announced on August 7, 2012 where the company reported the results of 29 samples taken along a drift over a length of 80 metres that showed a weighted average of 231.48 g/t silver, 0.84% copper, 6.00% lead and 14.12% zinc. Each sample weighed between 5kg and 10kg and the average interval between samples was approximately 3 meters.
The samples were collected from channels cut across vein material in skarn at the 690 level. This initial underground sampling is part of a continuing program of the company to evaluate the resource potential of the La Reforma property. Additional sampling is planned for the lower levels at Level 680, Level 650 and Level 620 over a cumulative strike length of 350m and average backs (height) of some 60m. These levels are presently accessible through existing portals. This sampling program will be augmented by surface and underground diamond drilling. Underground drilling stations can be constructed at minimum cost.
The analytical results of recent tests of tailings samples using a recovery mill were inconclusive. The assay results of preliminary sampling that the company reported on March 1, 2012 showed elevated values of silver in the tailings ranging from 4.20 ppm to a high of 60.8 ppm, as well as some high values of zinc. The company is preparing to ship further representative samples of the of the Matanza and Altamira tailings ponds to a qualified analytical laboratory in Arizona for additional testing.
Mr. Ruben Verzosa, P. Eng., a Qualified Person (QP) as defined by NI 43-101 has approved the geological content of this Press Release.
