Apogee Unearths High Silver Grades at Pulacayo Project

Apogee Silver Ltd. (TSXV:APE) announced that it has exposed a number of mineralized vein systems in preproduction mining at its Bolivia-based Pulacayo project. That includes one vein with average grades of 868 g/t silver, 11.95-percent lead and 5.05-percent zinc over a strike length of 97 meters and an average width of 0.61 meters.

As quoted in the press release:

Grades as high as 3,130 g/t silver, 38.69% lead and 22.47% zinc have been observed elsewhere within this vein over corresponding widths of 0.33m for the silver & lead, and 0.37m in respect of the zinc. These results correlate well with those of historical sampling and underground exploration drillhole PUD 083 (not included in the average grade calculations above), which intersected the vein approximately 6m below the development, and are also above the stated NI 43-101 mineral Resource and Reserve grades (see press release dated January 17th, 2013).
