Stepout drilling by Gitennes Exploration (GIT-A) has extended the Rio Suro zone on the Virgen gold property in north-Central Peru.
Three reverse-Circulation (RC) holes, drilled south of the zone’s previously known limit of mineralization, have intersected low- to high-grade mineralization over significant widths. The holes, spaced over a distance of 65 metres, were testing for extensions of a surface exposure that assayed 21.01 grams gold per tonne over 25.1 metres.
Hole 97-4, which ended in mineralization, intersected 46 metres (starting from surface) grading 1.69 grams gold per tonne, including 2.73 grams over the first 21 metres. Hole 97-5 returned 3.47 grams over 97 metres (from 0 to 97 metres), including 11.38 grams over the first 28 metres. Hole 97-10 yielded 5.26 grams over 14 metres (from 42 to 56 metres).
With the new results, Rio Suro has been outlined over a north-south strike length of 750 metres, with a width of up to 220 metres. The zone has been intersected to a depth of 180 metres. Mineralization remains open to the south and at depth.
Meanwhile, results from eight other RC holes are confirming earlier results obtained from drilling within the southern portion of the zone.
Highlights include: hole 97-2, which hit 18 metres (from 66 to 84 metres) grading 2.93 grams; and hole 97-6, which intersected 121 metres (from 24 to 145 metres) averaging 0.94 gram, including 5 metres (from 64 to 69 metres) of 1.65 grams and 26 metres (from 111 to 137 metres) of 1.96 grams.
The remaining holes returned values of less than a gram over core lengths ranging from 12 to 65 metres. Five of the holes bottomed out in mineralization, suggesting a continuation of mineralization at depth.
