Silver Bull Resources has reported that it has released the results from the second batch of six holes drilled during the underground campaign carried out at a high-grade silver zone, which is located at the Shallow Silver zone’s east end on the Sierra Mojada project in North Mexico.
The locations of the first two underground drill stations in relation to map structures at the eastern end of the Shallow Silver Zone. The high grade silver mineralization is hosted along east-west striking structures that are traceable for over 1 kilometer.
The company has intersected 1927g/t silver over 3.66 m and 912 g/t silver over 17.6 m; 561.8 g/t silver over 6 m and 206 g/t silver over 18 m; 184 g/t silver over 5 m, 143 g/t silver over 22.5 m, 115.5 g/t silver over 43.5 m, and 192 g/t silver over 8 m. It has also encountered 5.96% zinc over 30.5 m, 7.0% zinc over 7 m, 4.14% zinc over 4.9 m, 7.2% lead over 7.2 m and 5.0% zinc over 5 m. Mineralization stays exposed in west, north and south directions.
Silver Bull is conducting a 3,000 m drilling campaign with two Termite rigs, which twin a sequence of long holes with up to 50 m. A high-grade silver zone is the key target and is hosted along a structure that is trending towards east-west with about 1 km of traceable strike. The program aims to increase confidence in a data set of previous long hole that outlines the high-grade zone and shows drilling of below 38,000 m.
Besides validating the tenor and grade of mineralized silver together with the twinning campaign, considerable mineralization was ended in majority of the previous long hole data set; thus the campaign expects to expand the mineralization through longer hole drilling. Mineralization has been ended in some other holes.
According to Silver Bull’s Director and CEO, Tim Barry, the company is happy to obtain the long hole twinning campaign results. New underground mapping program represents that the high-grade zone is present along a sequence of stacked faults striking towards east-west. The low-grade encountered in some drill holes seems to be a halo in the middle of the fault zones.
