Azteca is pleased to announce the intersection in hole DDH-006 of asecond major mineralized zone beginning at approximately 10,850 FT andextending down to our current depth of 11,108 FT
This mineralization was disseminated with strong stockwork veiningpresent at 10,850 FT, and has continued to present depth. Within thelast 30 FT or so this mineralization has become intermittentlymassive." Bournonite is a lead-copper-antimony-sulfur mineral.Polybasite is a copper-silver-antimony-sulfur mineral.
It also appears to us that the mineral bournonite and the sulfosaltminerals may play a key role in the make-up of the beds above. Theyappear to be the pre-cursor materials from which mineral forms such asgalena and chalcopyrite are made within the context of the localsystem. This observation dovetails with our view that these beds ofsulfide mineralization are the source of the remobilized silver, lead,copper, and zinc ores of the Silver Valley," said Mr. Russell.
