Prophecy Development Corp. (TSX:PCY,OTCQX:PRPCF) announced assay results from the first group of 30 samples collected from a district exploration program at its Pulacayo project.
All in all, multiple zones in the Pulacayo district have been found to contain silver, zinc, lead, gold, copper, antimony and indium.
Results include:
As quoted in the press release:
During this first phase of district exploration, 495 samples were collected. However, due to backlog at the testing laboratory, Prophecy prioritized the most prospective samples for delivery to ALS Geochemistry Laboratory in Oruro, Bolivia (“ALS”) for assay. These results are from the first group of samples Prophecy delivered which included QA/QC samples. These were assessed and found no significant variation from the accepted values which supports the validity of the assay results. Records were kept to document the secure handling of the samples and to verify their identities were maintained. ALS is a qualified and accredited independent laboratory.
Chip channel samples MPU-69 (taken at 0.6m interval), MPU-70 (taken at 0.6m interval), MPU-77 (taken at 1m interval) returned silver assay results that are greater than the 1,500 g/t detection limit. Those samples are now undergoing umpire assay for precious metals content using methods having a greater upper detection limit. Results are expected to be received in approximately three weeks.
Also notable are the anomalous antimony (Sb) grade results obtained from a number of El Abra and Pacamayo samples. This is encouraging because there has been no historic record of antimony production from the Pulacayo district or the surrounding region.
