New intercepts at Callanquitas
The company has encountered 251.1 g/t silver and 3.082 g/t gold over 17.6 m, 141.2 g/t silver and 1.317 g/t gold over 48.7 m in hole CA-12-27. The significant holes CA-12-22 and CA-12-25 are situated in the prominent Callanquitas Structure’s southern and northern limits.
The company yielded 48.6 g/t silver and 4.481 g/t gold over 2.8 m, 19.4 g/t silver and 0.895 g/t gold over 25.5 m in hole CA-12-22, 46.5 g/t silver and 3.007 g/t gold over 3.5 m, 21.0 g/t silver and 1.290 g/t gold over 10.4 m in hole CA-12-25.
Sienna Gold’s Director, Dr. Warren Pratt has stated that these latest drilling results are very important. The continuity of the Callanquitas Structure is seen over a strike of at least 900 m length. High-grade silver zone is hosted in the hole CA 12 27. This zone has been intersected for a depth of over 400 m at vertical intervals of 50 m. This high-grade zone may be possibly expanded through the step-out drill program conducted towards the north and south. In addition, the company will concentrate on the other possible high-grade mineralized zones present in the structure.
A man portable rig and a huge tracked rig are present on the drilling location. The company has drilled 6,700 m at Callanquitas, as a part of the present 10,000-12,000 m drill program and also drilled 3,000 m at Tesoros and Domo.
