Tarku Resources Ltd (TSX-V: TKU) (FRA: 7TK) (the "Company" or "Tarku") is pleased to provide an update on its 2021 drilling program on its high-grade Silver Strike project, Arizona and also releases the latest results up to 778 gt Ag on the grab samples taken during its December 2020 field visit.
As previously disclosed, the first drilling program of 2021, at the Silver Strike project, is now underway. As of today, 26% of the total 3,000-meters reverse circulation drill has been completed and the samples have been sent to ALS Chemex laboratory in Tucson . Results for those first samples are expected in May 2021 . The initial targets tested were the Lucky Cuss, the Luck Sure, the Telephone and the Bunker Hill past mines, which have produced high-grade silver and have been explored only to a maximum depth of 200 m . Further away from the historical mines area, targets to be drilled are on the South West extensions along regional NNE and EW fault systems including the Ground hog, the Sunset, the Ace in the Hole and the Solstice area.
Julien Davy , President and CEO of Tarku, stated: "A first drill program on a new exploration project is always challenging and thrilling. We are on schedule and I am satisfied with the drilling progress. The team on site is efficient and their geological expertise is of great value. The program until now confirmed the alteration encountered is advanced oxidation, similar to that reported in the historical works and is the commonly founded alteration in this Silver type of mineralization. We are looking forward for the first results early May".
Tarku is also pleased to report new results from the 8 grab samples taken on the Silver Strike project during the December 2020 field visit. The following table summarized all results received:
