Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:OLA) (“Orla” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on drilling at its wholly owned Cerro Quema project in Panama, and report continued success at the Caballito copper-gold zone. We highlight in particular diamond drill hole CQDH17-136 which intersected 158.7 metres grading 0.62 g/t Au and 0.62% Cu from 50.6 to 209.3 m depth. Lower grade mineralization below this averaged 0.15 g/t Au and 0.17% Cu over 79.9 meters from 209.3 to 289.2 metres. A separate upper intersection graded 0.37 g/t Au and 2.24% Cu over 6.9 metres from 31.1 to 38.0 metres.
As quoted in the press release:
Marc Prefontaine, Orla CEO noted, “The intersection in CQDH-17-136 really shows the potential of the Caballito Cu-Au zone. We have a lot of work to do to figure out the geology of the area, but we now have several good intercepts. The extent of mineralization horizontally and vertically is unknown. This is a very exciting target and we plan to move another drill into this area early in 2018.”
