Solvista Gold Reports 6.1 Percent Copper, 8.2 G/t Gold, 5 Percent Zinc and 112.1 G/t Silver Over 9.13 Meters

Solvista Gold (TSXV:SVV) announced assay results from its ongoing 5,000 meters 10 to 15 hole drill program at its Talbot property in Manitoba.
Highlights of results included:

6.1 % copper, 8.2 g/t gold, 5.0 % zinc, 112.1 g/t silver across 9.13m including
5.9 % copper, 16.6 g/t gold, 5.8 % zinc, 135.6 g/t silver across 3.8m

As quoted in the press release:

The massive sulfide intersection in TB-001 is located in a part of the historic Talbot Deposit-Main Lens, where additional drilling had been recommended due to the wide spacing between the nearby drill holes. Massive sulphides were intersected between 558.68 metres and 567.81 metres (not true thickness) that consisted of megacrystic pyrite in a fine grained chalcopyrite matrix with disseminated to blebby sphalerite. Down hole geophysical data indicates substantial conductive anomalies that warrant follow-up drilling. Interpretation of the geophysical anomalies is ongoing and the results will be reported on in subsequent news releases. TB-001 was drilled at UTM co-ordinates 458320E/5997012N, to a depth of 772 metres, along an azimuth of 285 degrees, and a dip of -70 degrees.
The Company’s drill program is focussed on four (4) areas with significant high grade copper-gold-zinc and silver potential. The areas are; (1) Talbot Deposit: main, footwall and north lenses; (2) High Grade Gold Lens 50m south of the Talbot Deposit; (3) EZ Copper-Gold Zone located 500m north of the Talbot Deposit; and (4) The North Target: a complex, 1,000m long geophysical conductor which is located approximately 2.5km north of the Talbot Deposit and is known to be mineralized with anomalous copper from two (2) historic drill holes spaced 400m apart.

Solvista president and CEO, Ken Lapierre, said:

Our very first drill hole confirms that the Talbot Property has substantial potential to host high grade massive sulphides containing significant thicknesses and grades in copper, gold, zinc and silver. Drill hole geophysical data from TB-001 has also identified large conductive anomalies that need to be drill tested to determine their significance. Drilling continues and we look forward in testing several additional high priority copper-gold-zinc-silver targets on the Talbot Property.
