Silver Standard Resources (TSX:SSO) announced the interception of three silver and zinc mineralized zones from three target areas at its Pirquitas mine in Argentina.
As quoted in the press release:
Cortaderas Breccia Target:
- DDH-238: 27 meters at 202 g/t Ag and 9.8% Zn
- DDH-241: 164 meters at 97 g/t Ag and 3.9% Zn
- DDH-243: 23 meters at 388 g/t Ag and 9.7% Zn
Oploca Vein Depth Extension:
- DDH-244: 0.6 meters at 7,600 g/t Ag and 16.9% Zn
2.5 meters at 469 g/t Ag and 2.5% Zn
2.0 meters at 2,280 g/t Ag and 0.1% Zn
- DDH-247: 1.65 meters at 119 g/t Ag and 7.3% Zn
Portal Drilling Target:
- DDH-237: 7 meters at 426 g/t Ag and 1.6% Zn
- DDH-239: 16 meters at 61 g/t Ag and 4.4% Zn
Ron Burk, Silver Standard Vice President of Exploration, commented:
These drill results demonstrate that the Cortaderas Breccia deposit extends beyond the eastern limits of the Inferred Mineral Resource reported last November. Specifically, holes DDH-238, DDH-241 and DDH-243 were drilled, respectively, 50, 75 and 110 meters to the east of DDH-2301, and contain significant silver and zinc mineralization.
