Soltoro and Argentum Silver Sampling Returns 2.5 Metres of 458 g/t Silver at the Coyote Silver Gold Project
The Company has mapped dozens of epithermal low sulfidation vein systems and stockwork zones, the majority of which occur within seven defined belts of mineralization over an area of approximately 1.5 x 2.6 kilometres. Within the seven belts, 197 rock chip samples were collected which returned a global average of 86.8 g/t silver and 0.096 g/t gold. The majority of the samples are continuous rock chip samples, with sample widths ranging from 0.3 metres to 10 metres. The average sample width is 1.9 metres. Twenty-six samples reported greater than 100 g/t silver, with select intervals returning 2.5 metres @ 458 g/t Ag, 0.8 metres @ 423 g/t Ag, 0.8 metres @ 661 g/t Ag, 1.0 metre @ 505 g/t Ag and 0.8 metres @ 475 g/t Ag. In addition to the high grade veining, there is also the potential for bulk tonnage mineralization as evidenced by wide zones of stockwork mineralization.
Ongoing exploration programs will include interpretation of the geophysical surveys, continued mapping and sampling, and mechanical trenching to determine true widths and grades of mineralization. Drill targets will be defined once all of the completed survey data has been received.
