Sample 240841 - 8.17 g/t Gold, 0.34% Copper, 49 g/t Silver and 0.12% Lead
Sample 240803 - 2.84 g/t Gold, 36 g/t Silver, 0.35% Lead, 0.18% Zinc and 0.17% Copper
'It is encouraging to be getting high Gold grade samples in El Sombrero similar to the Main Zone. Additionally, it is very good news to be getting strong Copper, Silver, Lead and Zinc grades, which confirms what the geological team interpreted that the El Sombrero area includes at least 3 different stages of mineralization.' Commented Ariel Navarro VP Exploration Reyna Gold.
This emerging target area within the southwest corner of El Sombrero, directly north of the Main Zone area is a very positive development in the current exploration plan to expand out from Main Zone initially into El Sombrero. Multiple veins have been mapped at surface most notably the La Nacional Vein 485 meters (m) in length, El Caballo 480m in length and El Sombrero 460m in length. These three veins are the targets of the initial 14 drill holes in El Sombero. The geological team also believes the La Nacional and El Sombrero veins continue under cover on the regional northwest trend, as small outcrops of quartz veins have been identified, with the same characteristics and mineralization as the El Sombrero and La Nacional veins, and may extend up to one kilometer in length. The veins are running on the regional trend northwest/southeast, parallel to the regional Carneros Fault.
'El Sombrero has never previously been drilled, there are a number of historic mines from Spanish times and the team has identified extensive veining at surface. El Sombrero is the second of our eleven-target areas to be drilled and expands the footprint of our initial drill program to around 2,000 hectares/20 sq km. Our initial focus is going to be on the southwest corner of El Sombrero directly north of the Main Zone, where we now have a strong area of interest stretching around 3km in length.' said Michael Wood CEO of Reyna Gold.
