Silver King Shaft Area New Assays Including Overlimits
VANCOUVER – Prismo Metals Inc. has received final assay results including overlimits for the first batch of twenty-three samples taken at the Silver King project located in Arizona. The new assays include 619 g/t Ag and 511 g/t Ag for two samples taken at the Silver King shaft area, as well as 757 g/t Ag, 1.5% Cu, 6.7% Pb, and 11.5% Zn for the recently encountered polymetallic vein.
“The overlimit assays for silver highlight the high-grade nature of both the mineralization around the Silver King mine and the recently encountered polymetallic vein. The results confirm the significance of the recently discovered polymetallic vein as a new exploration target at the Silver King project,” said Craig Gibson, Chief Exploration Officer. “Overlimit copper assays ranging from 1.11% to 2.43% copper for three samples from the replacement mineralization area provides encouraging data for this style of mineralization. The replacement mineralization occurs along strike with the stratigraphic horizon at the nearby Magma mine and occurs as a large body on the Black Diamond claim.”
Prior to the discovery of the mineralized veins and porphyry related style mineralization announced recently, Prismo had planned a drill program at the historic Silver King mine for about 1,000 meters. That drill plan was designed to test the upper half of the steeply dipping pipelike Silver King mineralized body as well as potential mineralization adjacent to the dense stockwork that was the focus of historic mining.
Following the recent discoveries, Prismo is planning to add second phase of drilling for an additional 1,000 meters. This additional program will focus on the newly identified targets outside of the historic mining area, such as the polymetallic vein and the copper vein mentioned above. Drilling of a large body of replacement mineralization on the patented Black Diamond claim is also being planned and is road accessible on private ground.
“Much of the focus of the exploration program to date has consisted of a property-wide survey of historic mines and prospects surrounding the direct Silver King workings,” said Gordon Aldcorn, President. “This work has expanded our geological thinking and resulted in the recognition of several new types of mineralization at the project, providing additional targets for exploration. Prismo has already submitted a plan of operations for the drill program with Forest Services. Some of the drilling sites considered for the new targets will be subject to further permitting applications.”
