News is out ABRAPLATA INTERCEPTS 14 METRES OF 6.40 G/T GOLD & 197 G/T SILVER AND IDENTIFIES HIGH-GRADE COPPER ZONE WITH INTERCEPT OF 15 METRES OF 5.1% COPPER, 2.35 G/T GOLD & 658 G/T SILVER
Abraplata Resource Corp. has released significant high-grade assay results from the third diamond drill hole, DDH 20-001, completed at the Oculto deposit, located on its wholly owned Diablillos project in Salta province, Argentina. In addition to intercepting high-grade gold and silver mineralisation, DDH 20-001 intercepted high-grade copper mineralisation in the vertical continuation of a hydrothermal breccia beneath the current gold and silver resources at Oculto (see Table 2).
Hole DDH 20-001 was drilled to a depth of 359 metres to test for the vertical continuation of the Main Breccia below the existing mineral resources (Figures 1 and 2). DDH 20-001 intersected 14 metres grading 6.40 g/t gold with 197 g/t silver from 261 metres, which is interpreted to be part of the high-grade gold zone at the unconfirmity contact between the volcanics and basement. Immediately underneath this gold-rich interval, drilling intersected 15 metres of sulphide mineralisation grading 5.10% copper, 2.35 g/t gold and 658 g/t silver including 4 metres grading 10.28% copper, 6.44 g/t gold and 1,476 g/t silver
