Initial Exploration At Congress Gold Mine Exceeds Expectations
VANCOUVER - Casa Minerals Inc. reported on the initial exploration at its Congress Gold Mine Project in Yavapai county, Arizona. Casa's work included compilation of historic data and drilling of ten holes with total length 6,828ft HQ Diameter. Results of the field program exceeded expectations, with all the drill holes intersecting the Niagara and Congress Veins extensions on the property and yielded several noteworthy gold intercepts and long intervals of strong gold enrichment.
The highest gold intercepted in phase one, 2022 drilling campaign: CCG-004 14.9 g/t over 1.5 meters, as part of a larger intercept of 3.5 g/t over 10.7 meters; and CCG-004 9.3 g/t over 3 meters.
Three distinct areas of gold potential have been identified, two of which were revealed by previous drilling and one is newly discovered, and named for convenience, Congress z1, z2 and z3, respectively. These results demonstrate significant exploration potential of the property.
Casa's diamond drilling program tested possible extensions of the formerly-productive Congress and Niagara vein structures and nearby areas.
