'The grades and widths of the mineralisation are spectacular and many of the intersections sit within the area we are currently targeting for our maiden JORC-compliant Resource,'
Details of Historic Drilling at Sala
Alicanto has now acquired historical drilling and assay data from as far back as the 1970s incorporating 12,225m of drilling in 57 holes. This is the first time the historic data has been compiled by one company. The historic drilling confirms high grade mineralisation across Alicanto's Maiden Resource target area at Sala, demonstrating the continuity of the mineralised system, which remains open in all directions. A new previously unknown zone with drill intercepts including 87m at 5.3% Zn and 40 g/t Ag (SAE-112), marks a significant advance in the exploration and upside of the Sala system.
The relationship between the lodes is currently being investigated by the geological team, with ongoing drilling rapidly advancing the geological understanding of the area. Two holes that have intersected high-grade copper and gold have also been drilled 600 meters NNW of the historic
This incorporates data for the seven surface diamond drill holes SAA08-01 to 08 (07 not drilled) targeting
