Chairman of Almaden, J.D. Poliquin, said:

These new results show the continued expansion of the overall Ixtaca vein system. We are excited to be working towards our maiden resource. Since the discovery in 2010 of the Main Ixtaca Zone we have found the parallel Ixtaca North Zone, the perpendicular Northeast Extension (Chemalaco) Zone and widespread mineralisation in the volcanic units. All of these zones remain open and drilling is on-going to expand the resource beyond the boundaries set for the maiden resource, a snapshot of drilling results to date.
