News!Arco Announces Sampling Averages of 173 g/t Silver and 1.5 g/t Gold Along 230 Metres at the Taviche Silver-Gold Property
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Feb 9, 2010 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) --
ArcoResources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ARR) ("Arco" or the "Company") is pleasedto announce the results from the underground sampling program announcedOctober 14, 2009 on its 386 hectare Taviche property. The Tavicheproperty is located approximately 56 kilometers from Oaxaca City,Mexico.
About the Taviche Property
Taviche is asilver-gold-bearing quartz vein with typical epithermal textures andhistoric (Spanish and subsequent) underground workings and production.The vein can be traced for over 1.5 kilometres on surface. Five hundredmetres of that has underground workings from one level. Thelaterally-continuous vein varies in thickness from 1 to 5 metres, butaverages 1.5 metres, and is sub vertical. Epithermal textures includeopen space fillings, bladed veining and megacrystic carbonatereplacement, all significant textures known in gold-silver epithermaldeposits. There are no reliable production records available of thegrades from the vein.
As a first step, Arco completed anextensive surface and underground sampling program in November andDecember of 2009 to determine the average grade. Channel samples weretaken every 6 metres across the full width of the vein along the full500 metres of underground, as well as every 10 metres where exposed onsurface.
Results of Taviche Sampling Program
Theunderground channel sampling program defined a 230 metre long shoot ofthe vein with silver-gold values averaging 173 g/t silver (Ag) and 1.5g/t gold (Au). Corresponding surface sampling approximately 15 metresabove the underground workings identified a similar 220 metre longshoot averaging 161 g/t Ag and 2.18 g/t Au. This defines an attractivetarget for Arco to follow to depth with drilling. In addition, the veinis mineralized in the westernmost 110 metres of the undergroundworkings, with an average grade of 73 g/t Ag and 0.6 g/t Au, forming asecondary drill target. Arco is proceeding to the drill permit stagefor this target.
