Silver Bull Resources, a mineral exploration firm, has reported that drilling results have been released for the third batch of six holes drilled in the underground campaign conducted at the east side of the Shallow silver zone, located at the Sierra Mojada project in North Mexico.
The company encountered high-grade silver, lead and zinc intercepts from the third batch, including 193.6 g/t silver over 23.85 m, 770.7 g/t silver over 4 m, 307 g/t silver over 7.95 m, 428.5 g/t silver over 4.35 m, 385.6 g/t silver over 11.35 m, 20.75% lead over 2.6 m, 12.9% lead over 3.8 m, 7.2% zinc over 2.2 m and 3.94% zinc over 16.7 m. Mineralization stays exposed in the eastern, western, northern and southern directions.
Two underground termite rigs are currently being used in the company’s ongoing 3,000 m drilling campaign. The company’s key target is a high-grade silver zone, which exists along stacked structures trending towards western and eastern directions. These structures are a combined traceable strike of about 3 km at the Shallow Silver zone’s east end. The drilling campaign aims to increase confidence in a previous long hole data set that outlines the high-grade zone.
Besides validating the tenor and grade of mineralized silver with the twinning campaign, significant mineralization was encountered at most of the previous long hole data set. Therefore, the company will drill longer holes to expand the mineralization. Mineralization is still found in some holes, due to the limited range of the drill rigs.
This new drill program together with previous channel sampling and current underground mapping campaign represents at least three separate structures trending towards east-west direction, hosting high-grade silver mineralization zones. The high-grade silver zone stays exposed in all directions.
