Copper Drilling At Dos Naciones Property
VANCOUVER - Yale Resources Ltd. has received results for the three holes, drilled on behalf of its optionee Del Toro Silver Corp., at the Dos Naciones property, located in Sonora State, Mexico.
Drilling at Dos Naciones was successful in confirming the presence of multiple outcropping skarn targets. Drilling in the strongly altered and fractured ground proved very difficult and each of the three holes was terminated before reaching the target depth due to technical reasons.
Drill holes D2N-01 and D2N-02 were drilled into and beside, respectively, the La Espanola skarn target, a prominent ridge that is host to numerous historic workings. In addition to the average of 1.04 % copper and 33.3 g/t silver, drill hole D2N-01 intersected an average of 20.7 % iron (using a top cut of 25%) over 10.5 metres from surface. A second zone of mineralization grading 1.5 g/t gold and 88.3 g/t silver over 0.75 m was intersected at a depth of 29.70 m, indicating the potential for additional targets at depth. Drill hole D2N-02 was collared in strongly altered andesitic volcanics with 1 to 3 percent disseminated sulphides but was lost at 12 m before intersecting the target at depth.
Drill hole D2N-03 was drilled into the Dos Naciones Este target, located approximately 2.5 km southwest of drill holes D2N-01 and 02. Hole D2N-03 was collared in an outcrop of skarn and intersected 10.0 m of skarn mineralization averaging 0.76 % copper and 9.3 g/t silver from a depth of 4.5 metres below a zone of very poor recovery.
