First Drill Hole at Porvenir Still in Mineralised Porphyry System at 660m
The Board of SolGold (LSE & TSX: SOLG) is pleased to provide an update on Porvenir Project, held by Green Rock Resources S.A, a wholly owned and unencumbered subsidiary of SolGold.
Highlights
Ø Due to highly encouraging visual estimates from the first hole at Cacharposa (PDH-20-001) and growing potential for a large, strongly mineralised porphyry copper-gold system at Cacharposa, SolGold will plan a larger 50,000m drilling program, subject to ongoing positive results.
Ø PDH-20-001, the first drill hole at the Porvenir, at Cacharposa (formerly Target 15), has so far intersected over 644m of visual copper sulphide mineralisation, hosted by potassium-rich intrusions, as the hole continues towards a revised planned depth of at least 750m. Potassium-rich porphyry systems are the host for a number of Tier 1 porphyry copper-gold mines around the world.
Ø The dominant copper sulphide mineral observed in PDH-20-001 is chalcopyrite, and chalcopyrite mineralisation has been observed from 15.9m to the current depth of 660.3m. Detailed core logging, from the last reported depth of 491.0m, to a current logged depth of 619.0m, shows chalcopyrite percentages of up to an estimated 3.0 % by volume with associated porphyry style total quartz vein abundance of up to a measured 4.7 % by volume. Mineralisation from surface to 491m depth was previous described in announcement on 01 October 2020.
