The Board of SolGold provided exploration update for the company's Cascabel copper-gold porphyry project in Ecuador. Hole 19 intersects over 800m of significant copper mineralisation from 325.6m to current depth 1,161.5m, including a more intensely mineralised section from 545.9m. Bornite (or 'peacock ore', a copper rich sulphide mineral containing 63% copper, prized in commercial copper concentrates) and molybdenite are present in the mineralised section of hole 19. Up to 2.0% bornite and 4.3% chalcopyrite (35% copper) has been visually logged over selected short intervals. Bornite mineralisation mapped at surface, and in hole 19 to date, endorse Hematite Hill, Alpala Southeast, and Cristal as high priority targets over 750m of strike extension southeast of Alpala Central. Preparations for drill rigs 4 and 5 continue ahead of drill testing the zone southeast of Alpala. Hole 18 encountered significant and intense veining and mineralisation from 903.9m to 1,568.9m, a distance of some 665 metres and continues at 2,144.8m depth, testing the lower levels and south western side of the Alpala system. Hole 20R enters significant brecciated (fragmented) porphyry style copper mineralisation at 905.4m, approximately 200m high to prognosis, indicating widening and shallowing of the mineralised zone on the east and north east side of Alpala Central. Mineralisation continues to current depth of 1,050.0m.
