Calvista Gold, a mineral exploration firm, has reported that two fresh mineralized zones have been discovered by the new soil sampling campaign carried out at the Callejón Blanco prospect, located in the company’s wholly-owned California Valley project.
New Interpreted Mineralized Zones.
According to Mr. Mark Haywood, Calvista Gold’s CEO, the discovery of two new mineralized zones parallel to its zones previously discovered on the La Mascota ore zone signify key exploration targets for Calvista. Additional exploration, based on the company’s future phase III diamond drill campaign, will have the capability to considerably expand the mineral resources found at the Callejón Blanco prospect.
Based on the soil sampling program, all licenses of the company were specifically sampled on a 100 x 50 m GPS grid with the help of the codified card system. The company took 351 samples from the B Horizon’s upper portion. Canada-based Activation Laboratories assayed these samples with the help of Enzyme leach technology.
The company completed and included further temperature surveys and magnetic susceptibility into the analysis of the target areas. The results from the geochemical program were processed with compositional data analysis and further statistical methods like correlation studies and factor analysis.
Calvista discovered fresh target zones, after the completion of these studies. Drill target areas for the company’s phase III drill program were selected..
Metallic screen analysis is used for re-assaying samples with assay results more than 10 g/t gold. Colombia-based ALS Group carried out preparation of samples before they were examined at the assay laboratory located in Lima, Peru.
