Eurotin Inc. (TSXV:TIN) reported drill results and an update on its Oropesa tin project in south west Spain.
As quoted in the press release,
The latest drilling results have allowed the Company to improve its understanding of the geological structures and distribution of tin mineralization at Oropesa. Two distinct types of mineralization are now recognised:
- Steeply dipping (~55°) ‘primary’ structures, generally 6-10 metres thick with an approximate average grade of 0.8 – 2.0% tin.
- Shallow dipping (<25°) ‘secondary’, or ‘replacement’ structures found in greywacke* sediments. These ‘replacement’ structures are best developed adjacent to the ‘primary’ structures. In addition, they are generally lower grade and thicker than the ‘primary’ structures. This ‘replacement’ mineralization – see accompanying schematic – appears to represent an attractive bulk tonnage target.
- * Greywacke: A quartzite that contains more than 15% clay and chlorite minerals as a matrix to angular and sub-rounded grains of quartz and feldspar, plus small pebbles.
