Minsud Resources Corp. announced geological mapping and surface channel sampling results from the Minas de Pinto sector of the Chita Valley diatreme volcanic vent/porphyry complex. The following is an update on recent exploration work conducted in the Minas de Pinto sector of the Chita Valley Project located in San Juan Province, Argentina.

The project is a large exploration stage Tertiary diatreme volcanic vent/porphyry complex with classic alteration features, widespread porphyry style Cu-Mo-Ag-Au mineralization, and associated gold and silver-bearing veins. The Minas de Pinto sector is essentially an easterly trending swarm of discontinuous quartz veins containing variable concentrations of polymetallic sulphides and widespread localized Au-Ag mineralization that has been traced for 4.0 kilometers along strike. This is part of the 12 km strike length Chita Valley Complex trend.

The vein swarm cuts various lithologies including Devonian-Carboniferous sediments (Agua Negra Formation), Carboniferous-Permian granodiorite (Colanguil Batholith), and Mid to Upper Tertiary volcaniclastics and andesitic porphyry (Chita Valley Complex). Several corridors comprising multiple veins and stockworks are present. In the western part of the area, from north to south, these are termed; the Barba, Amparo, Fatima, Fatima Sur, Branca, Maria, Carmen and Carmen Sur vein assemblages.

In the east and south parts of the area are additional corridors including the Candela, Johanna, Esperanza, Josephina, Argentina, Pulenta and Glenda vein sets. The distribution of alteration features is summarized as follows: Agua Negra Formation units are characterized by weak silicification with areas of moderate to strong argillic alteration in the vicinity of epithermal vein systems and possible intrusions at depth. Colanguil Batholith granodiorite is exposed in two areas.

The southern exposure is characterized by moderate argillic alteration while the northern area is weakly to strongly silicified with an area of moderate argillic alteration near the northern property boundary. The Chita Valley Complex andesite porphyry units are moderate to strongly silicified with localized argillic alteration bordering vein systems. The mafic volcaniclastics in the north-western corner of the map area are typified by moderate propylitic alteration.
