| Comments | Drilling (19992000) encountered up to 61 m of 0.452% Cu and 0.98 g/t gold in one of 20 holes completed (1,735 m). Hosted in dacite dome and pyroclastic blanket with quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration. To date, fifteen diamond drill holes and nine reverse circulation holes have been drilled on Los Lirios. Three diamond drill holes, and the extension of a fourth, returned assays including 213 m at 0.532 g/t Au, and 0.252% Cu, 218 m at 0.509 g/t Au and 0.317% Cu, and 180 m at 0.624 g/t Au and 0.288% Cu. Significant prospect. |
