“We are very pleased to have the opportunity to apply for the ground hosting the southerly continuation of Angel’s Iguanacito Prospect,” says Stella Frias, President and CEO of Angel Gold Corp. “We are looking forward to evaluating the economic potential along the trend that is host to gold-silver mineralization within intense sericite-silica alteration zones that offer a new-and exciting target within the Segovia Belt in addition to the traditionally sought narrow quartz-veins.”
Full evaluation of the potential of Angel’s Iguanacito Prospect has to date been limited to the southern portion of the El Porvenir Project concessions. The northwest-southeast trending Iguanacito alteration zone, hosted at the faulted margin of the Segovia Batholith intrusive, widens considerably towards the southern concession boundary and intersects a north-south trending zone of intensely sericitized rock hosted within the sediment/volcanic package trending to the newly applied for area.
A second sediment/volcanic hosted zone of intense sericite alteration is projected to intersect the continuation of the Iguanacito zone into the area of this new concession application. The sheared western boundary of this second zone hosts the narrow (1m wide) gold-silver mineralization of an abandoned artisanal mine identified by Angel’s geologists at the Nus prospect.
Angel interprets this widening of the Iguanacito alteration zone and its junction with two zones of intense sediment/volcanic hosted alteration as offering increased potential for high-grade shoots of mineralization at these structural/lithologic intersections. Angel Gold geologists consider it likely that these alteration zones are emanating from a central center within the area of the new application, possibly centered over a younger intrusive body.
Angel Gold geologists have already observed numerous zones of intense sericite alteration with quartz veinlets along access tracks to Angel’s Iguanacito prospect that pass through the area of this concession application, including three zones tens of meters wide.
