Primero Mining Announces Extension of Alexa and Victoria Veins

Primero Mining Corp. (TSX:P,NYSE:PPP) announced drilling results from their San Dimas mine in Mexico.

As quoted in the press release:

Results indicate that the Victoria vein, discovered in 2012, extends into an adjacent ore block and that the Alexa vein, also discovered in 2012, continues west. These discoveries support the Company’s belief that this region has become a new nucleus of high-grade gold and silver mineralization capable of supporting future mining at the San Dimas mine.

Primero’s President and CEO, Joseph Conway, said:

The Alexa and Victoria Veins not only represent an important contribution to the ore expected to be mined from the Sinaloa Graben over the next few years, Victoria is also one of the new veins we’re opening up with long-hole mining, allowing us to significantly improve productivity at the mine. Our exploration drilling program is progressing ahead of schedule and with continued positive results the Company may elect to expand it during the third quarter.
