SOUTHERN EMPIRE COMPLETES ORO CRUZ PHASE 1 SONIC DRILLING OF HISTORICAL HEAP LEACH PADS
Southern Empire Resources Corp. has completed phase 1 sonic drilling of the American Girl and Padre y Madre historical heap leach pads at its Oro Cruz gold project in Imperial county, California.
The sonic drilling portion of the phase 1 program completed Jan. 26, 2021, with 20 holes drilled (10 holes each on the American Girl and Padre y Madre historical heap leach pads) for a total of 318.8 metres (1,046 feet). Additional details of this program are available in the Southern Empire news releases dated Nov. 17, 2020, and Jan. 13, 2021. The drilling of the Padre y Madre heap was reduced from 17 holes to 10 during this phase of work to accommodate unforeseen issues relating to levelling the sites and shallow-depth limitations, both issues that can be easily resolved in subsequent planned drill programs.
