Drilling in Ecuador confirms potential for Triton Mining

Drilling at Triton Mining’s (TTM-T) Manantial Espejo property in Argentina is expanding the gold and silver resources in the Maria Vein.

The Vancouver-based junior is engaged in an ongoing 10,800-metre drill program at the property, situated in Santa Cruz province.

Hole 1 intersected 10.2 metres grading 3.99 grams gold and 502.4 grams silver per tonne in the Maria vein, and 2.2 metres grading 44.68 grams gold and 81.9 grams silver in the Parallel vein.

Additional highlights from drilling in the Maria vein are as follows: Hole 4 intersected 2.4 metres grading 1.38 grams gold and 54.1 grams silver; hole 5 hit 1.35 metres at 3.64 grams gold and 318.5 grams silver; hole 6 returned 1.05 metres grading 2.67 grams gold and 325 grams silver; hole 12 hit 6.5 metres at 4.08 grams gold and 377.3 grams silver; and hole 15 intersected 3.05 metres grading 2.15 grams gold and 38.3 grams silver.

Triton acquired the property in August from Barrick Gold’s (ABX-T) Argentine subsidiary. At that time, the resource in the Maria vein was estimated at 885,000 tonnes grading 9.62 grams gold and 235 grams silver, within two oreshoots open to depth.
