Earlier this week, Outcrop Silver & Gold Corp. (OCG.v or OCGSF for U.S. investors) shared an update on its regional exploration at the Santa Ana Silver project in Colombia, underlining the potential for significant resource growth.
The Santa Ana project, recognized for its high-grade silver and gold, features a 17-kilometer fully permitted vein corridor that is integral to Outcrop's expansion strategy.
Advancement of Drill-Ready Targets:
Outcrop Silver has identified multiple promising sites for future drilling. The exploration team has already drilled at Aguilar, Jimenez, and La Ye, while new targets such as Los Mangos, La Rica, Frias, and Morena are prepared for initial drilling campaigns.
Los Mangos Vein Highlights:
Sampling at the historic El 20 mine has uncovered a quartz vein with consistently high-grade silver, featuring assay results up to 1,737 grams per tonne (g/t) of silver over 1.60 meters within a 30-meter section. Drilling at Los Mangos is set to commence in the near future.
Gold Potential at La Rica:
Exploration efforts have identified significant gold grades at La Rica, with channel samples yielding up to 15.59 g/t gold and float boulder chip samples reaching as high as 53.92 g/t. The vein system at La Rica extends approximately 600 meters, showcasing shallow-dipping parallel veins within granodioritic intrusion.
Strategic Approach and Future Plans:
Outcrop Silver's exploration methodology integrates detailed geological mapping, geophysical analysis, and regional geochemical surveys, complemented by insights from historical mining operations. This comprehensive strategy aims to refine target selection and enhance drilling precision.
With ongoing sampling and geological mapping at high-potential targets such as Los Mangos and La Rica, Outcrop Silver continues to strengthen the prospects of the Santa Ana project, with the goal of positioning it as a leading high-grade silver operation on the global stage.
