La Quinta Resources Files for Drilling Permit for its Easter Project

By Joel ScanlonMay 18 2011

La Quinta Resources has filed for drilling permits for its Easter project, which is situated 110 miles northeast of Las Vegas in southeast Nevada.

This drilling permit has to be approved by the Caliente office of the Bureau of Land Management and acceptance of reclamation bonding.

The company has planned to perform reverse circulation percussion drilling for about 11,000 feet and to diamond drill in 23 holes located in Easter’s two zones. The main work of the company is to conduct infill drilling down to the present NI43-101 compliant indicated resource including 101,000 oz gold and 1M oz silver. La Quinta has proposed to drill twenty holes in this target.

Currently, La Quinta has identified this second zone as outcrop that encloses 10 g/t gold and 70 g/t silver. This region has never been drilled before, which is containing a distinct high-grade mineralization shoot on the west vein. The company has planned to drill three exploratory holes on this region to find out the mineralization direction in order to help the next comprehensive drilling campaign.

La Quinta has engaged Silver Springs’ Leach drilling to conduct both the percussion and diamond drilling for this work phase at the Easter project.
