Max Resource (TSXV: MAX) has seen mobilization begin for its previously announced drill program. The company expects the drilling to get underway within the next two weeks on its flagship Cesar copper-silver project in Colombia.
The planned drill program is set to consist of an eight hole program, which will be conducted from five separate pads on the property. The program is set to focus on the Uru Central region of the property, with both Uru-C and Uru-CE set to be targeted. A second phase drill program is also set to immediately follow the initial eight hole program.
“The main objective of this initial drilling program at URU is to confirm the down dip continuation of the copper-silver mineralization for both the URU-C and URU-CE discoveries. Follow-up drilling will target mineralization along strike and further down dip. To gauge the enormity of the URU District, Max’s drilling is currently targeting a significant 1-km of strike of the URU 20-km-long surface copper-silver mineralization,” commented CEO Brett Matich.
Drilling is set to occur at regions where the company has seen significant channel sampling results, including 9.0 metres of 7.0% copper and 115 g/t silver, as well as 52.0 metres of 4.9% copper and 41 g/t silver.
The firm also indicated this morning that a 14 line kilometre IP and grand magnetic survey was completed over the region being targeted for drilling. The results are said to correlate with the surface copper-silver mineralization, and indicate that the zone may extend a further 500 metres to the northeast. A further 20 line kilometres of surveys are being completed on the property due to the results received.
