The drilling program will test targets identified by surface & underground sampling and geological mapping completed by Oro Silver in 2008.
Oro Silver’s drill program has three main objectives:
1. Test the depth and lateral extensions of the main “Vetagrande” vein structure over a 1 kilometre strike extent and to a vertical depth of +300 metres; 2. Test the depth extensions of the sub-parallel “Armados, San Jose, San Tiburcio, Predilecta, Esperanza, and La Flor” vein structures;
3. Test near surface extensions of the “La Flor & Vetagrande” vein mineralization currently being mined via a production ramp.
“We are enthusiastic about the proposed drilling at Vetagrande; our re-interpretation of historic data and field work completed in 2008 has identified excellent targets located along strike and at depth of the main Vetagrande vein structure, while other sub-parallel vein structures also hold potential for new discoveries. This area can be described as a top-quality silver-base metal district known for its multi-million ounce potential and has received very limited modern exploration,” stated Herve Thiboutot, Chief Executive Officer & Vice-President Exploration of Oro Silver.
The appended map shows the locations of the Vetagrande vein system, other historic major vein systems, and Capstone Mining Corp’s Cozamin mine located on a major sub-parallel vein system south of Vetagrande, as part of the Mala Noche trend.
The drilling program is being supervised by Mr. Herve Thiboutot, Chief Executive Officer & Vice-President Exploration, and Mr. Jorge Ortega, MSc & P.Geo. and Vetagrande Project Manager for Oro Silver, both are qualified persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Thiboutot and Mr. Ortega have reviewed the content of this press release.
