Falcon Gold, a Canadian mineral exploration firm, has obtained assay results from rock samples taken from the Washington Silver project, and received 5.58 g/t gold and 2,700 g/t silver from one sample.
These rock samples were specifically taken and examined together with a comprehensive geological mapping program conducted at the Silver Bell open pit, situated at the Washington silver property. The company examined 43 grab samples from different rock types that were mapped in the pit and pit region, showing strongly mineralized breccias and veins to unchanged volcanic rocks, for gold and silver.
The company encountered more than 100 g/t of silver assays, averaging 651 g/t silver, from 20 samples out of 43. Average grade of gold obtained from the same 20 samples is 1.25 g/t. The assay data includes strong correlation between gold and silver grades.
The sampling and mapping at the Silver Bell pit is part of a large exploration campaign, which is being completed at the Washington Silver property that also comprises geological mapping program across the nearby exploration claims and Silver Bell mining lease. The work results from the Silver Bell pit outline the base for preparing and designing a 1,000 m diamond drilling campaign.
This property includes about 880 ac and is situated in the Okanogan and Ferry Counties in North-central Washington State, 50 km towards the southern part of the Canada-USA frontier and roughly 14 km towards the northwestern part of the town of Republic. It comprises several gold and silver showings, which include siliceous breccias, vein stocks works and veins in line with the district-style epithermal mineralization.
