Eloro Resources Ltd (TSXV: ELO; OTCQX: ELRR) has intersected some significant high-grade mineralisation at Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project in the Potosi Department, southern Bolivia.
To date, the company has completed 34,409m) n 64 drill holes including three in progress to test major target areas at Iska Iska.
The latest results come from tests of the Santa Barbara Breccia Pipe (SBBP) (Hole DHK-23) and two holes (DCN-05 and DCS-03) which tested the Central Breccia Pipe target (CBP).
To date, every drill hole that has been assayed has returned multiple reportable mineralised intercepts. Currently three drill rigs are in operation at Iska Iska. Two surface drill rigs are continuing to drill at SBBP to outline an initial National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource.
A third drill, an underground rig, situated in the west end of the Santa Barbara Adit, is testing the eastern part of SBBP and its mineralised envelope.
Highlights are as follows:
Highlights:
Santa Barbara Breccia Pipe
- 100g Ag eq/t (including 38.71 g Ag/t, 0.88%Zn and 0.51%Pb) over 188.5 m from 58.67m to 247.13m in hole DHK-23, drilled from the west end of the Huayra Kasa underground workings at -70 degrees due west. This intersection includes a higher-grade portion of 154 g Ag eq/t (including 75.51 g Ag/t, 0.96% Zn, 0.65% Pb and 0.16%Cu) over 65.8m
Central Breccia Pipe
- Hole DCS-03 drilled southwest at -60 degrees from the south radial platform of the CBP intersected twelve (12) separate zones of quartz-tourmaline veins in granodioritic intrusive breccia with best results of 224.92 g Ag eq/t (including 25.36 g Ag/t, 0.12 g Au/t and 0.55% Sn) over 7.42m and 113.67 g Ag eq/t (including 17.85 g Ag/t, 0.085 g Au/t, 0.21% Cu and 0.18% Sn) over 12.03m
- Hole DCN-05 drilled due east at -60 degrees from the north radial platform of the CBP intersected ten (10) separate zones of quartz-tourmaline veins in granodioritic intrusive breccia with a best result of 104.72 g Ag eq/t (including 74.41 g Ag/t and 0.22% Cu) over 4.59m
“We are now starting to see a reduction in the backlog of assay samples with two laboratories operating at near capacity,” CEO, Tom Larsen, said.
“These latest drill results, especially from DHK-23, are again demonstrating the accumulating amount of potential commercial bulk tonnage material, especially within the Santa Barbara complex, a subset of the overall Iska Iska volcanic edifice.”
Executive Vice President Exploration, Dr Bill Pearson, said mineral resource definition drilling is continuing in the Santa Barbara Target area, which is 1,400m along strike, 500m wide and extends to a depth of 600m.
‘This target is open along strike to the northwest and southeast. Data from the downhole Induced Polarization survey is being processed and the resulting 3D inversion models should aid in refining our geological model, especially determining the likely geometry of the higher-grade zones that typically have greater sulphide content.”
