Source Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SOP) has announced additional assay results for its surface and underground rock sampling program at its recently acquired Las Minas project located in western Veracruz State, Mexico.
Assay results have been received for sampling at the Las Boquillas, Cinco Senores, Yanillo and Las Minillas skarn targets as well as the La Miqueta, San Jose de Oro and El Alto historical mines.
"These recent assay results for the Las Boquillas and Cinco Senores skarn zones are very encouraging as they confirm the potential for outlining a bulk tonnage skarn deposits with significant gold, silver and copper mineralization," states Brian Robertson, Source's President and CEO. "Sampling at other target areas on the property has also identified additional high priority drill targets." "These early results will guide our upcoming diamond drilling program, which is scheduled to commence in February."
Sampling Results
The samples for Las Boquillas and Cinco Senores were all located within the Endoskarn. Current work suggests that the Las Boquillas and Cinco Senores mineralized zones are from the same system. When combined with the El Dorado and Nopaltepec zones, the indicated strike length of the system is approximately 2 kilometres, with widths often in the tens of metres.
New Target Areas
Recent work has focused on the Yanillo target area where extensive mineralization has been identified over a large area with significant indicated widths. Full results from the Yanillo sampling are expected in the coming weeks. Preliminary field work has also identified potential drill targets at the Las Minillas (bulk tonnage) mineralized zone, San Jose de Oro mine and the Changaro vein deposit. The Las Minillas zone outcrops on surface and is connected by a 200 metre access drift to the underground workings of the historical San Jose de Oro mine. The Changaro vein deposit measures approximately 20 metres in width and is on strike with the El Alto vein system. Sampling has recently been completed at the Changaro vein deposit and further sampling is planned for the Las Minillas zone and San Jose de Oro mine.
