Mexican Gold Mining Announces the Commencement of Fieldwork for an Environmental Baseline Study - Drilling to Commence in Jul...
09 Junio 2020 - 8:00AM
Mexican Gold Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “Mexican Gold") (TSXV:
MEX) is pleased to announce that fieldwork towards completing an
environmental baseline study has commenced at the Las Minas
project. Drilling at Las Minas is scheduled to commence in early
July.
Highlights:
- Mexican Gold has engaged Consultoría y Tecnología Ambiental
(“CTA”), based in Zacatecas, Mexico, to begin an environmental
baseline study at the Las Minas project for inclusion in Mexican
Gold’s preliminary economic assessment study (“PEA”)
- Further, the Company has engaged Kluane Drilling (“KDL”) to
commence a +3,000-meter drill program at Las Minas in early
July
“The commencement of the environmental baseline study at Las
Minas, as well as drilling, marks the re-start of our much
anticipated 2020 program,” stated Philip O’Neill, Chief Executive
Officer. “With the start of resource expansion and exploration
drilling in early July, we will be well on our way towards
achieving a PEA at Las Minas.”
Drilling Program
The Company will embark on a +3000m drill program to expand and
upgrade the current resource at El Dorado which remains open in
multiple directions.
A comprehensive drill program will also follow up the November
2019 discovery at Cinco Senores hole LM-19-CS-13. At 114m vertical
depth, a 5.2m shallow-dipping quartz vein was intersected which
assayed 8.94 g/t gold, including 21.37 g/t gold over 2m. The true
widths of the intersections are estimated to be 85% of the
down-hole lengths. Previous drilling at Cinco Senores had targeted
the El Dorado mineralized horizon, at least 70m above this
intersection. Drilling in 2020 will attempt to define the veining
and intersect further strong gold values.
High grade gold assays were received in early 2020 from a
historic mine in the Changarro area which had not been sampled for
at least a century. Channel samples spaced 3m apart and averaging
0.65m in width returned an average of 8.82 g/t gold along the
entire 52m drift. These strong results precipitated exploration
work in February-March 2020 which uncovered multiple lost mine
workings, all carrying similar polymetallic veining and Fe-oxide
skarn within a strong, linear, mineralized structural zone. This
presents the first clear drill target within the geologically
complex but compelling cluster of mining at Changarro and it will
be tested in 2020.
Environmental Baseline Study
Consultoría y Tecnología Ambiental has commenced an
environmental baseline study of the resource area at the Las Minas
project for inclusion in Mexican Gold’s forthcoming preliminary
economic assessment study. CTA will study surface water quality as
well as flora and fauna.
The surface water study will involve taking samples from the
nearby rivers/creeks to analyze concentrations of metals and
mercury (total and dissolved) and other inorganic parameters
(chlorides, pH, color, sulphates, hardness, dissolved oxygen, total
suspended solids, and conductivity). The flora and fauna study will
make observations along transects in the project’s area of
influence to identify species of herpetofauna, birds, and flora,
including possible protected species from these three groups. The
work will be carried out by three biologists specialized in these
three specific groups. The biologists who will also perform the
collection of the water samples for analysis at an accredited
Canadian laboratory. At the conclusion of the program, CTA will
prepare and present the Company with an environmental baseline
study report.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed
and approved by Sonny Bernales, P. Geo., a registered
Professional Geoscientist in the Province of British Columbia and a
qualified person as defined by NI 43‑101. Mr. Bernales is
responsible for logistics and supervision of all exploration
activity conducted by Mexican Gold on the property.
The Company has implemented and adheres to a strict Quality
Assurance/Quality Control program which includes inserting
mineralized standards and blanks into the sample stream, about 1
for every 10 samples. The standards and blanks were obtained from
CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley, BC, Canada. Each sample
bag is properly sealed and kept in a secured, restricted storage
place prior to shipping to the lab. Samples are shipped
directly by Mexican Gold or picked-up by the lab vehicle with
chain of custody/sample submittal signed and dated. The Company
sends its samples to SGS Mineral Services (ISO/IEC 17025) at
Durango, Mexico, an accredited and independent laboratory.
