Multiple Underground High-Grade Zones At The Mogollon Project
VANCOUVER - Summa Silver Corp. reported on the ongoing data compilation at the Mogollon Project near Silver City, New Mexico, including historic underground rock sampling data completed by previous owners of the project. Includes the expansion and exploration potential of multiple high-grade zones along the Queen Vein.
Two kilometers of targets have emerged on the Queen Vein where compilation of historic underground sample data from has revealed numerous un-mined zones of high-grade mineralization. Highlights include grades up to 5,173 g/t silver equivalent (2,398 g/t Ag, 35.3 g/t Au) from the Eberle Mine, up to 2,564 g/t silver equivalent (1,199 g/t Ag, 17.4 g/t Au) from the Deadwood Mine, and up to 382 g/t silver equivalent (92 g/t Ag, 3.5 g/t Au) from the Clifton Adit. These unmined zones are open to expansion with strong potential for continued high-grade mineralization below and along strike from historic mine workings. The Mogollon Project continues to feature large-scale discovery potential where the 2 km of mineralized zones represent less than 3% of the cumulative 75 km of prospective vein and structure length known to be present. Preparations for a fall drill program at the Mogollon Project are well underway and details will be shared once planning is finalized.
Galen McNamara, CEO, said, "At Mogollon, the Queen Vein is now starting to demonstrate its true potential. Of note, both the Deadwood and Eberle mines were only added to the land package relatively recently. Data compilation has now revealed that both mines host significant potential for new discovery along strike and at depth. We look forward to resuming drilling at Mogollon this fall and will provide an update on program details when planning is complete. We also plan to share an update from the Hughes Project in Nevada soon. Drilling at Hughes has been delayed due to mechanical issues, ground conditions and part shortages. However, the final hole of the season remains in progress and delays have been at minimal cost to the Company."
