Denarius Metals Announces High-Grade Gold and Silver Results from the Ongoing Infill Drilling Program at Its Zancudo Project

10.09.2024  |  Newsfile
Confirming High-Grade Mineralization on Multiple Structures at the Los Albertos Target

Highlights from the 2024 Infill Drilling Program include

  • Multiple high gold and silver grades have been intersected in most of the drill holes completed on Los Albertos target, confirming the continuity and extending the mineralization on the main structure and also delineating a NW-SE trending ore-shoot on the main Manto Antiguo structure, which is still open along strike and to the west.
  • 22.37 g/t Au and 2,752 g/t Ag over 0.40 m from 61.70-62.10 m, hole ZM-159, Manto Antiguo
  • 53.51 g/t Au and 154 g/t Ag over 0.40 m from 50.40-50.80 m, hole ZM-156, Ortiz Vein System
  • 37.60 g/t Au and 1,190 g/t Ag over 0.40 m from 117.20-117.60 m, hole ZM-154, Ortiz B Vein
  • 25.94 g/t Au and 245 g/t Ag over 0.70 m from 101.8-102.5 m, hole ZM-151, Ortiz Vein System
  • 17.53 g/t Au and 380 g/t Ag over 0.40 m from 52.80-53.20 m, hole ZM-162, Porvenir


Toronto, September 10, 2024 - Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF) ("Denarius Metals" or the "Company") provided an update today on drill results from its ongoing 10,000 meters surface infill diamond drilling program at its Zancudo Project in Colombia. The Company announced today the results received from the final assays for 32 drill holes from the Los Albertos target, totaling approximately 4,790 meters. This infill drilling program, which has been designed at 50x50 meters drill centers, commenced in late April 2024 and is aimed at upgrading Inferred Resources to the Indicated category and to support near term mine development. The drilling program focuses on two priority areas, Los Albertos and Las Brisas, which contain most of the existing mineral resources. The drilling program started with the first priority target, Los Albertos, with two drill rigs operating from eight purpose-built surface drill platforms. As of July 27, 2024, the drilling program designed for the Los Albertos target was completed and the remaining meters planned for the Las Brisas target should be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024 with only one drill rig.

Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman and CEO of Denarius Metals, commented, "We are very pleased with the drilling results achieved to date, which demonstrate that systematic, more tightly spaced, infill drilling at Los Albertos has produced very positive results with a best so far of 1.6 m @ 7.74 g/t Au and 890 g/t Ag including 0.40 m @ 22.37 g/t Au and 2,752 g/t Ag. These results confirm the results from previous drilling campaigns and have delineated a high-grade ore shoot, which is still open along strike and to the west, within the main Manto Antiguo structure that could enhance the resource estimate and production grade down the line. The drill program is being carried out at tighter spacing, significantly de-risking the future production at the Zancudo underground operation and further validates the modelling methodology used to derive the current mineral resource estimate."

The infill drilling plan for the Los Albertos target was designed at 50x50 meters drill centers to intersect the Porvenir, Ortiz A and B veins and the Manto Antiguo structure. Los Albertos target comprises the following main structures: the steeply dipping El Porvenir Vein, set in the footwall of the northerly trending Santa Catalina master fault structure, the Ortiz Vein System that occurs in the footwall of the El Porvenir Vein and shows a similar structural trend, and the Manto Antiguo structure, which was the main structure historically mined. Manto Antiguo is interpreted as a brecciated manto structure, hosting clasts that show thin layers of mineralization composed of quartz, pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite and galena, embedded in a matrix of sulfides and milled rock. This structure was selectively exploited by past mining, which focused on the sectors of the mine that showed the highest concentration of sulfides, allowing us today to evaluate and quantify an important resource that was left unexploited. A steeply dipping north-south trending reverse fault has been interpreted as offsetting the Manto Antiguo and Porvenir structures.

The following table shows intersections above a cut-off of 4.0 g/t AuEq for the Los Albertos target from the 2024 infill drilling campaign. High grade samples above 10 g/t Au and 100 g/t Ag are listed as sub-intervals:

(1) The intervals are core lengths. The true widths are estimated to be 80% to 90% of the lengths.
(2) Equivalent gold grades (AuEq g/t) were calculated using prices of US$2,000/oz gold and US$25.00/oz silver. Gold equivalent formula: AuEq = Au + (Ag / (Au Price/Ag Price)).
(3) "Unknown": new structure that doesn't correlate with any of the known structures/veins

Qualified Person

Dr. Stewart D. Redwood, PhD, FIMMM, QMR, Senior Consulting Geologist to the Company, is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure or Mineral Projects and prepared or reviewed the preparation of the scientific and technical information in this press release. Verification including a review of the quality assurance and quality control samples, and review of the applicable assay databases and assay certificates.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

The drill samples from the Project were prepared by SGS Labs (ISO 9001:2015) at their laboratory in Medellin, Colombia, and assayed by them at their laboratory in El Callao, Lima, Peru. Gold was assayed by 50 g fire assay with AAS finish. Samples over 6.0 g/t gold were re-assayed by 50 g fire assay with gravimetric finish. Silver and other elements were analyzed in a multi-element package by aqua regia digestion and ICP-AES finish. Silver samples above 100 g/t were re-assayed by multi-acid digestion and AAS finish. Blank, standard and duplicate samples were routinely inserted for quality assurance and quality control.

About Denarius Metals

Denarius Metals is a Canadian junior company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and eventual operation of polymetallic mining projects in high-grade districts.

In Spain, the Company owns a 100% interest in the Lomero Project, a polymetallic deposit (copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver) located on the Spanish side of the prolific copper-rich Iberian Pyrite Belt, and a 50% interest in Rio Narcea Recursos, S.L., which owns a 5,000 tonnes per day processing plant and has the rights to exploit the historic producing Aguablanca nickel-copper mine, located in Monesterio, Extremadura, Spain, approximately 88 km northwest of the Lomero Project. The Company is also carrying out an exploration campaign on the Toral Project (zinc, lead, silver) located in northern Spain pursuant to an option and joint-venture arrangement with Europa Metals Ltd. pursuant to which it can acquire up to an 80% ownership interest in Europa Metals Iberia S.L., a wholly-owned Spanish subsidiary of Europa which holds the Toral Project.

In Colombia, Denarius Metals is carrying out construction activities at its 100%-owned Zancudo Project, which includes the historic producing Independencia mine, to develop production and cash flow expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2024 through local contract mining. The Company is currently carrying out a 10,000 meters drilling program on the Zancudo deposit which remains open in all directions.
