Las Dolores intercepted with gold near surface

From the Las Dolores Zone within the Las Conchitas area of its wholly-owned San Albino-Murra property located in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. The goal of the 2019 drill program at the Las Dolores Zone was to confirm and extend the near surface, high-grade mineralized shoot previously encountered in trenches and drill holes. 

 

Located only at 2.5 kilometers south of the Company’s San Albino gold project and bordering the El Jicaro concession to the south, the Las Dolores Zone hosts near surface high-grade mineralization in a geological setting similar to that of the San Albino Gold Deposit.  The Las Dolores Zone remains open along strike and down dip.

 

Gold was analyzed by standard fire assay fusion, 30 gram aliquot, AAS finish.  Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are analyzed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric method.  Due to the presence of coarse gold, the Company has used 500-gram metallic screened gold assays for analyzing samples that yielded a fire assay result greater than 1 g/t, and samples immediately above and below drilled veins. 

 

This method, which analyzes a larger sample, can be more precise in high-grade vein systems containing coarse gold.
