• Phase 2 Drilling will be a minimum of 5,500m across four target areas: La Republicana, Western, Las Carmelitas and Main Zone
  • Drilling will start at La Republicana with 20 holes planned for 2,500m
  • La Republicana drilling will test extensions to the La Republicana Main Vein, which produced 59.00m of 1.45 g/t Gold in Phase 1 drilling (See News Release 7th Sep 2022), and test new intrusive hosted targets
  • The La Republicana Main Vein has been mapped for 1km at surface; this has been corroborated by the Induced Polarization (IP) Survey, which also shows potential parallel structures that widen the target to 600m
  • Intrusive targets have been identified at depth via the IP Survey on the Western side of La Republicana
  • Drill Rig is on site and drilling is scheduled to start within two weeks, once the initial access road and drill pads are completed

"We are very excited to be recommencing drilling at La Republicana. We have done a great amount of detailed exploration work since Phase 1 drilling and are now ready to drill test along the 1km of strike length potential that has been defined at the La Republicana Main Vein," said Michael Wood, CEO of Reyna Gold. "We are also really looking forward to initial drilling at Western and Las Carmelitas; the geological team is really excited about both targets, which have great geological potential."

La Republicana Target

Extensive work has been conducted to assess the potential for large-scale mineralization at La Republicana after Phase 1 drilling. A comprehensive Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey was carried out, which covered an area of 2.0km by 1.6km (outlined in Figure 1), along with extensive sampling, mapping, and a structural study. The results of the IP survey correlate with multiple targets identified at surface, showing the potential for the continuation of the known structures along strike and at depth, plus it has identified several new potential targets at depth.

Drill hole 30, which produced 59.00m of 1.45 g/t gold (See News Release 7th Sep 2022) was drilled to test the La Republicana Main Vein. The IP Survey results show the potential for the La Republicana Main Vein to continue for 1km in length and identified parallel structures at depth, providing width to the target zone of up to 600m and depth of up to 200m. This zone will be the main focus of this phase 2 of drilling at La Republicana and is outlined as Target 1 in Figure 1. Targets 2 and 3 in Figure 1 could also be continuations of the La Republicana Main Vein, which has been moved by faulting. The company plans to conduct more work on these target zones to assess this thesis, including diamond drilling.

In addition, the IP survey opened up the potential for intrusive hosted targets at depth at La Republicana, in target zones 4, 5 and 6 in Figure 1. All three zones show sizable high resistivity targets at a depth that coincides with mineralization and structures at surface that our geological team believed could be inferring intrusive hosted targets at depth. These intrusive hosted targets will also be tested in this phase 2 drill program at La Republicana.

Western, Las Carmelitas, and Main Zone Targets

Phase 2 diamond drilling will also test targets in three other areas on the La Gloria property; more information will be released on plans for drilling at these targets once the interpreted IP Survey data is received and the proposed drill hole locations are finalized.

  1. Western Target: Where a high density of gold and tellurium-bearing quartz veins have been identified at surface from sampling programs with high grades of gold and tellurium (See News Release 19th Jan 2023).
  2. Las Carmelitas Target: High grades of copper, silver and antimony have been identified from sampling programs in a large conglomerate/agglomerate system. A trenching program is currently ongoing at Las Carmelitas in preparation for drilling (See News Release 19th Jan 2023)
  3. Main Zone, follow-up from Phase 1 drilling that produced 5.50m of 935.06 g/t Silver (hole 28), 7.85m of 3.94 g/t Gold (hole 5), and 30.60m of 0.51 g/t Gold (hole 1) (See New Release 7th Sep 2022)
