Ero Copper (TSX:ERO) has announced a major discovery of a new parallel zone of copper mineralization within the Pilar underground mine, on its 99.6% owned Vale de Curaçá property in Bahia State, Brazil.
According to the press release, the new discovery, the “West Limb”, is a mineralized intrusive body of mafic-ultramafic rocks that extends parallel to the existing underground workings of the Pilar Mine, which over the past 37-plus years, has predominately mined a structure now referred to as the “East Limb”.
As highlighted in the press release:
Copper mineralization is delineated in a series of mineralized lenses that form a parallel structure on average approximately 200 meters to the west of existing Pilar underground mine infrastructure;
Includes the current P1P2W mineral reserve and resource, scheduled for first production during the second half of 2018 – previously thought to be an isolated zone west of the main Pilar Mine; and,
Mineralization is adjacent and parallel to the mine’s existing infrastructure, including ramp, horizontal development, power, water, ore passes and underground crushing facilities.
