High Desert Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:HDG) reported strong preliminary exploration results at the Company’ high-grade, gold-silver San Antonio Project in Sonora State, Mexico.

The press release is quoted as saying:

The San Antonio property was the focus of both historic small-scale underground mining at the turn of the century and a small surface excavation which was completed within the past 20 years. The surface excavation consists of a cut approximately 110 metres long, 5-10 metres wide and 10-30 metres deep. The material from the excavation was placed on heaps for leaching with the higher grade material trucked offsite for processing. Recent bulk sampling by HDG of the material on one of the old leach pads returned average values of 1.8 g/t gold and 35.3 g/t silver.
