Select significant mineral intercepts from the twin-hole drilling include:

  • 97.62 meters of 4.64 g/t Au in hole APM-15-01, at 20 meters downhole;
  • 95.15 meters of 5.14 g/t Au in hole APM-15-02, at 141 meters downhole;
  • 200.35 meters of 8.33 g/t Au in hole APM-15-03, at 0 meters downhole. This hole is a twin hole of hole AP-11-37 drilled in 2011 which intercepted 198.45 meters of8.379 g/t Au at 3.05 meters downhole.

The press release also states:

The results from the confirmation drilling were consistent with those from previous programs.  Additionally, the infill drilling results were very encouraging, as they continue to display Ana Paula’s high-grade gold mineralization and allow for a greater understanding of the deposit.

The samples will be sent for metallurgical testing which is expected to be completed in early 2016. The metallurgical results will be part of a Feasibility Study which the Company is scheduling for completion in the middle of 2016.
