Aftermath Silver (TSXV: AAG) has intersected additional high grade silver mineralization within a 82-hole drill program at their Berenguela silver-copper-managanese deposit in Peru.
Assay results for a total of 16 holes were released this morning, with a further 11 holes expected to be released shortly. Highlights from the results include:
- AFD129: 302 g/t silver, 0.66% copper, 10.64% manganese over 12.35 metres from a depth of 2.40 metres
- AFD130: 322 g/t silver, 0.58% copper, 6.88% manganese over 35.55 metres from surface
- Including 1,174 g/t silver, 0.80% copper, 11.14% manganese over 7.10 metres from a depth of 24.4 metres
Holes AFD129 and AFD130 were both drilled to the north of the current mineral resource envelope, with the holes drilled in an area known as the central north area. The holes were drilled at a high angle, with intersections assumed to be true thickness. The holes were designed to extend and define the margins of mineralization while also moving inferred resources to the indicated or measured categories.
“Our latest round of results have expanded the known mineralization into areas outside of the previous resource model in the central north area. We also cut strong Mn mineralization in the far eastern area of the resource where there has been little previous drilling. We’ll be incorporating the latest results into a revised mineral resource estimate which is currently underway,” commented Ralph Rushton, CEO of Aftermath Silver.
Aftermath Silver last traded at $0.51 on the TSX Venture.
