Garibaldi Resources Corp. has announced that the Company owned NQ diamond drill has been deployed to test the Locust Gold in soil anomaly located at the Company's 100% owned 48,000 hectare Tonichi concession in Sonora State, Mexico approximately 160 kms southeast of Hermosillo.
Amongst numerous alteration target areas originally detected during the Company's hyperspectral survey within this large 480 square km claim block, Locust was discovered during follow up soil sampling over an area with an alteration signature similar to mineralization associated with epithermal and porphyry type deposits occurring throughout the Sierra Madre.
Anomalous Au values were outlined within a zone of intense hematite-argillite alteration over a strike length of more than 650 meters. Company geologists have planned a 5 hole drill program of up to 950 meters to test an area centered on a large breccia zone. Results will be released as they come available.
Garibaldi Resources Corp. is a Canadian junior mining company utilizing the most sophisticated remote sensing technology in the world to explore for new gold silver and base metal deposits in the central and northern parts of Mexico's prolific Sierra Madre. The Company controls seven district scale projects covering more than 2,500 square kilometres of strategically located concessions close to some of the most robust gold and silver mining projects ever discovered in Mexico including El Sauzal, Mulatos and Ocampo.
