Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (NYSE:FSM, TSX:FVI) announced that they have intercepted high-grade silver-gold mineralization in the Ramal Piso Carolina and Don Luis veins.

As quoted in the press release:

Exploration drilling in the Don Luis area at Caylloma has also intercepted high-grade silver-gold mineralization. The 2013 drilling in the Don Luis area follows-up on drilling conducted in the area in 2010 and 2012 and further extends the mineralization to-depth. Particularly interesting are the results of drill holes DLUS002413 and DLUS002613, both of which encountered high-grade silver mineralization in the deeper portions of the western ore shoot.

Fortuna Silver’s VP of Exploration, Dr. Thomas I. Vehrs, said:

The exploration results in the Ramal Piso Carolina Vein are very significant for the Caylloma District. Although gold is present in minor quantities in the other veins in the district, the Ramal Piso Carolina Vein is the first discovery of high-grade gold mineralization in the district. The high-grade mineralization remains open to depth and laterally to the northwest and to the southeast with exploration drilling continuing in the area to further test the lateral and depth extensions of the high-grade zone.
