4.2.09“Although it requires deep drilling to reach thesestratified sulfide beds within the Prichard sediments, we feel we havea much higher probability of intercepting these large, lens-likesulfide bodies compared to drilling targets of vein-stylemineralization,” Mr. Russell emphasized. “The depths are easily withinthe mineable horizon, and the potential grades are very exciting. Oneintriguing thought is that with the sniffs of gold we have found thusfar, if Hershey’s theory is correct and we have found the source forthe region’s mineralization, it follows that we may find the elusivesource of the gold found in Murray, Idaho, which is located just to theNE of Two Mile.”
Exploration Plan for Two Mile
Azteca Gold has two primary objectives in regards to exploring the Two Mile discovery:
- Define the size and lateral extent of the main sulfide beds, which are open for exploration in several directions.
- Development of a silver-gold-lead-zinc-copper mineral resource based on a Sullivan-type massive sulfide model over the approximately 1 km between DDH-005 and DDH-006 holes as well as any extensions discovered. Secondary targets such as the Harlow Shear (vein-type remobilization as Hershey predicted) intersected while drilling to depth for the Sullivan-type ore, as well as a westward extension of the sulfides found in DDH-006, will be assessed for their potential value to the overall mineral resource of the Two Mile Property.
