Hole 9 drilled 3 metres (m) of 384.6 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq) in a wider interval of 5.5 m of 221.5 g/t AgEq and was the first hole to target the Tipal structural corridor. This corridor is primarily defined by an airborne magnetics gradient that has a strike length of 2.5 kilometres (km). The Tipal structural corridor represents the fourth corridor with confirmed silver-gold mineralization in the third dimension at Curibaya.
The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of
A Message from
'On behalf of everyone in the Company, I would like to thank Dave for his commitment, dedication, and efforts to help bring Curibaya to this stage as a world-class exploration target. We look forward to working with Christian in a new capacity as he has played an integral role within the Company to-date, and his notable exploration experience with silver discoveries in
At the Tipal structural corridor, holes 9 and 10 were drilled 830 m apart, focusing around channel samples of 2 m of 6,278.8 g/t AgEq and 4 m of 282.1 g/t AgEq, respectively. Drill hole 9 intercepted vein arrays within kaolinite and sericite alteration, 50 m below the surface, returning 3 m of 384.6 g/t AgEq from 83 m - 86 m in a broader interval of 5.5 m of 221.5 g/t AgEq from 82 m - 87.5 m. The structure was tested again in hole 10, 830 m to the NE, and returned 1 m of 383.6 g/t AgEq from 96 m - 97 m in a broader interval of 2 m of 224.9 g/t AgEq from 96 m - 98 m, also in vein arrays with kaolinite and sericite alteration.
At the Madre structural corridor, drill holes 7, 8, and 11 targeted a 650 m section of the 1.4-km-long corridor, where channel sampling previously identified high-grade mineralization. Holes 7 and 8 targeted beneath channel samples of 6 m of 398.9 g/t AgEq, 4 m of 189.2 g/t AgEq and 2 m of 1,256 g/t AgEq. Hole 7 returned 1 m of 261.8 g/t AgEq from 115.5 m - 116.5 m in a broader interval of 8 m of 62.2 g/t AgEq from 115.5 m - 123.5 m. The intercept was in vein arrays with quartz-adularia and sericite-kaolinite alteration. Hole 8, located 335 m to the north from hole 7 on the Madre corridor, intercepted multiple parallel banded quartz-adularia vein zones and returned 2.5 m of 195.2 AgEq from 197 m - 199.5 m, 2 m of 104.8 AgEq from 213 m - 215 m in a broader interval of 28 m of 38 g/t AgEq from 209 m - 237 m and 2 m of 160.1 g/t AgEq from 269 m - 271 m. The veins come with adularia, colloform and drusy silica vein textures as well as sericite-kaolinite alteration. Hole 11 was positioned another 300 m to the north from hole 8, targeting the Madre corridor under high-grade rock grab samples, but no significant mineralization was encountered.
