Northair Intersects 7.6 Metres Of 230 g/t Silver At La Cigarra Project
VANCOUVER, BC - International Northair Mines Ltd. reported assay results from eight core drill holes recently completed in the San Gregorio Zone at its La Cigarra silver project, located in north central Mexico.
"We are very pleased by our drilling as results continue to expand the potentially surface minable mineralized system on the Property," said Fred Hewett, President & CEO. "The San Gregorio and Las Carolinas Zones have now been drilled over a strike length totaling 1.9 kilometres. Exploration upside of this mineralized system remains excellent as both zones remain open along strike and down dip, providing the Company with significant potential to expand the mineralization for the upcoming resource calculation scheduled to be released in 2012."
Northair has reported 48 diamond drill holes completed at La Cigarra totaling 9,750 metres in length. Continued drilling on the Property will be focused on infill drilling within the San Gregorio and Las Carolinas zones and step out drilling to test the intervening prospective areas between the San Gregorio and Las Carolinas mineralized zones. Since drilling recommenced in 2012, the Company has completed an additional seven holes within the San Gregorio Zone. The results for all future drill holes will be reported once the Company has received and interpreted the results.
All technical information for the La Cigarra exploration program is obtained and reported under a formal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program. Samples are taken under the direction of qualified geologists and stored in sealed bags. Samples are delivered by the Company via courier to ALS Chemex Labs in Chihuahua for drying, crushing and pulverizing; with the pulps sent airfreight by ALS Chemex to Vancouver B.C. for analysis. Systematic assaying of standards and blanks are performed for precision and accuracy. Analysis for silver, zinc, lead and copper and related trace elements was done by ICP four acid digestion, with gold analysis by 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish.
The La Cigarra Project is located in State of Chihuahua along the eastern fringes of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico. Local topography is gentle with good road access to the major city of Parral, located 26 kilometres to the south east. The La Cigarra Project hosts a silver-rich, epithermal vein system with three identified zones forming a three kilometre trend.
