Oceanus Resources Doubles Strike Length at Dos Hermanos

Oceanus Resources Corporation (TSXV:OCN) reported assay results from its drill program at the La Lajita property in Durango, Mexico. Further high-grade results were returned from drilling at the Santo Nino Prospect, while drilling doubled the strike length of the mineralized zone at the Dos Hermanos prospect.

As quoted in the press release:

Six holes totaling 1,143.9 meters were drilled at Santo Nino to test the down dip extension of the high-grade ore shoot intersected by the discovery hole OCN-13-005 which returned 7.1 g/t gold and 48.8 g/t silver over a core length of 20.0 meters, including 18.9 g/t gold and 71.3 g/t silver over a core length of 6.5 meters in greenish quartz breccia with visible gold.

Seven holes totaling 882.1 meters were drilled at the Dos Hermanos Prospect, four holes totaling 470.6 meters were also drilled at the northern strike extension of Dos Hermanos and four holes totaling 505.9 meters were also drilled at the southern strike extension at Dos Hermanos. The drilling completed has effectively doubled the strike length of the mineralized zone at Dos Hermanos to 225 meters.

Oceanus president and CEO, Glenn Jessome, said:

We are beginning to define the down dip extension of the high grade ore shoot at the Santo Nino prospect. The new holes confirm the high grade mineralization cut in the 2013 discovery hole OCN-13-005 continues down dip towards the contact with the Lower Volcanic Complex. The strike extension at Dos Hermanos is significant. The widths and grades at Dos Hermanos have resulted in us beginning modelling to determine if the upper portion of the zone could be a starter pit. Our plans are to resume drilling at the exciting new Santo Nino gold prospect mid-October of this year.
