Toachi Mining Inc. Intersects 13.91 m grading 3.51 g/t Au, 64.24 g/t Ag, 0.59% Cu, 4.11% Zn and 0.85% Pb at the Gold-Rich La Plata VMS Project in Ecuador
TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - October 11, 2017) - Toachi Mining Inc., ("Toachi" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: TIM) is pleased to announce results from on-going drilling at its La Plata gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") project, located 100 kilometres southwest of Quito, Ecuador.
Program Highlights
- Hole CMLP-17-93 intersected 13.91 metres (m) of massive and disseminated sulphide mineralization grading 3.51 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, 64.24 g/t silver, 0.59% copper, 4.11% zinc, and 0.85% lead from 339.43 m in the La Mina South zone of the La Mina deposit.
Drilling Highlights
Hole (93) | From (m) | To (m) | m | Au (g/t) | Ag (g/t) | Cu (%) | Pb (%) | Zn (%) |
CMLP-17-93 | 339.43 | 353.34 | 13.91 | 3.51 | 64.24 | 0.59 | 0.85 | 4.11 |
Core widths in CMLP-17-93 are not considered to be true widths. Gold assay composites were calculated using uncut assays.
A complete list of all intersections is available in Table 1 below along with a drill hole cross-section and plan map.
Program Results
The drill program began in August 2016 continued after the recently completed National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate, is designed to extend known mineralization within the resource area, and around the peripheries of the known mineralized corridor.
Complete details for the National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate are available in our press release dated September 13, 2017 and available on our website at www.toachimining.com or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Hole CMLP-17-93 was completed in the northern portion of the La Mina South block, targeting the depth extension of the known VMS mineralization on the eastern flank. Hole CMLP-17-93 was successful in extending mineralization approximately 30 m down dip, and still remains open at depth.
Jonathan Goodman, President & CEO, stated, "While the overall grade of hole 93 is slightly below the average resource grade, this shows that the mineralization extends beyond the resource shells."
