Vancouver – Surface trenching on Bear Creek Mining‘s (BCM-V) Corani gold-silver project in southeastern Peru, has extended the silver mineralization to over 500 metres.
The zone of silver mineralization averages 112 metres wide and represents a new zone, 3 km southeast of high-grade gold mineralization found in outcrop.
Bear Creek reports a new weighted average for trenches No. 1 through No. 5 of 3.3 oz. silver over an aggregrate length of 562 metres. The latest results from continuous 2-metre channel samples in the silver-rich zone include 216 metres averaging 3.1 oz silver per tonne, and include 48 metres of 6 oz. silver.
The trenches, which average 112 metres in length, terminate in high-grade silver. The company is continuing to trench along the strike of the mineralization in an effort to extend the zone to 1 km.
In the gold-rich zone of the property, initial trenching using 2-metre continuous rock chip sampling returned 52 metres grading 0.57 gram gold, including 8 metres of 1.2 grams gold in trench S1; and 2.9 grams gold over 58 metres including 20 metres of 6.7 grams gold in S2. These two trenches are 200 metres apart.
