American Manganese Inc. (CVE:AMY) reports that it has received results for the following 8 holes from its 2011 Artillery Peak drilling program.
The press release is quoted as saying:
The results for first 73 drill holes have been previously announced.
The Company initiated the drilling program on April 20, 2011 and completed on June 17, 2011. It was performed using reverse circulation drilling techniques as the mineralization is disseminated and uniform. A total of 10,607 meters (34,800 ft.) was drilled in 84 drill holes.
American Manganese’s President and CEO, Mr. Larry Reaugh says:
“We have now reported results for all drill holes, and are very pleased with the results. Of all the holes drilled, only three (No. 61, 55, and 131) contained no mineralization, or mineralization too weak to report. These holes serve to delineate the manganese bed sub-crop. Two holes were deferred to the next program at the last minute. We are closing information gaps and increasing the amount of known mineralization on the patented lands.”
“Drill holes 133 and 135 were wildcat holes drilled on the Shannon patented claims, located about 4 kilometers west of Manganese Mesa. Drill holes 136 and 137 were wildcat holes drilled on the Burro patented claims, located about 6 kilometers southeast of Manganese Mesa. The extensive mineralization at Artillery Peak occurs within sedimentary beds taking the form of paleo-alluvial fans spreading out down slope from a number of source vents. As expected, the mineralized intersections continue to demonstrate the expected lateral continuity over good widths, augmented by local higher grade intersections.”
