Highlights:
Drill holes previously assessed visually to have limited potential have returned assays identifying surface silver mineralisation at Mesa de Plata Norte
Assays of mineralised drill intercepts1 returned:
MDPD-023: 6.2m @ 162g/t Ag from surface
MDPD-024: 4.5m @ 52g/t Ag from surface
MDPD-026: 6.4m @ 65g/t Ag from surface
MDPD-027: 3.8m @ 92g/t Ag from surface
MDPD-028: Assays pending
MDPD-030: Assays pending
Additional drilling will test potential mineralised extensions to the south of Mesa de Plata Norte
Azure’s Managing Director, Tony Rovira said: “Early visual inspection of drill core from Mesa de Plata Norte led us to believe there was limited potential for this area to host significant silver mineralisation. However, it is pleasing to see that these assay results now indicate potential for additional silver mineralisation north of the existing Mesa de Plata mineral resource.
“Although we don’t expect this new area to form a significant new body of mineralisation in its own right, the grades are reasonable and the mineralisation is situated at surface, indicating it could form a nice addition to the existing resource.
