Exploration Drilling On The Jimenez Vein Target
VANCOUVER - Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation reported on exploration drilling at the Jimenez vein target in its Santa Ana high-grade primary silver project. Drilling at Jimenez has returned some of the widest intercepts in the current campaign and unveiled the potential for additional parallel veins carrying high-grade. Outcrop Silver continues drilling with two rigs, one at the Jimenez vein and the second one at La Ye vein, and is well advanced in the execution plan to start drilling at Los Mangos target.
DH401 intercepted 0.32 metres at 1,288 grams per tonne of silver equivalent in Jimenez vein, as part of the 3.58 metres vein intercept at 131 grams per tonne of silver equivalent. The newly discovered Jimenez North vein returned 0.30 metres at 789 grams per tonne of silver equivalent, included in a 2.04 metres intercept at 145 grams per tonne of silver equivalent from hole DH401. Drilling at the Jimenez target has confirmed vein continuity along 500 metres of strike and 200 metres down dip (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
"Overall, these results confirm high-grade silver and gold mineralization at Jimenez, with several veins showing significant exploration potential based on their width. The intercepts highlight both narrow high-grade zones and broader zones of mineralization, contributing to the resource expansion potential in this vein system," said Guillermo Hernandez, Vice President of Exploration. "The consistency of wider veins at Jimenez, as expected based on our geological observations, makes us address this target as a dilational zone with some minor narrow high-grade veins striking East-West."
