MAG Silver Corp. (TSX:MAG) reported the interception of four zones of massive sulfides by exploration drill hole CM12-431, ranging from 3.1 metres to 61.6 metres in thickness.
MAG Silver Corp. (TSX:MAG) reported the interception of four zones of massive sulfides by exploration drill hole CM12-431, ranging from 3.1 metres to 61.6 metres in thickness at Cinco de Mayo.
As quoted in the press release:
These new discovery intercepts were drilled approximately 225 metres beneath the strongest mineralization previously drilled in the “Jose Manto-Bridge Zone” and show all of the hallmarks of the near-source part of the Carbonate Replacement Deposit (“CRD”) system that MAG has been systematically seeking at Cinco de Mayo. The mineralization in the upper intercept of Hole CM12-431 is likely connected to the 4 kilometre long Bridge Zone-Jose Manto where high grade mineralization of lead, zinc and silver has previously been drilled.
MAG Silver President and CEO, Dan MacInnis, commented:
This is a real victory for our systematic exploration methodology and we are very pleased to deliver another discovery of this magnitude to our shareholders, this time 100% owned. Hole 431 has cut by far the strongest mineralization yet seen at Cinco de Mayo. The size and geological characteristics we see are the kind of major mineralization centre/source we have long expected at Cinco de Mayo, and it is open in all directions.
