Summarizes Its 2022 México Gold Exploration Programs V.SMP VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2023 / Southern Empire Resources Corp. (Southern Empire; TSX-V:SMP; Frankfurt:5RE; OTC:SMPEF) announces that detailed Synchrotron radiation micro-X-Ray Fluorescence (Synchrotron Micro-XRF or SRµ-XRF) mineralogical studies of gold-enriched drill core samples from its Pedro Gold Project in Durango, Mxico, reveal certain, specific mineralogical similarities to the unique ore mineralization of the world-class Carlin gold deposits in north-central Nevada. Although preliminary in nature, this mineralogical work together with many other noted geological similarities supports the possibility that a new belt of Carlin-style gold deposits, named the "Mapimi Gold Corridor" by Southern Empire, may exist in north-central Mxico.
"The idea that there could be a metallogenic trend of bulk-minable, sediment-hosted gold deposits in north-central Mxico makes for a very compelling exploration strategy," explained Dale Wallster, Southern Empire's CEO adding, "Now, with the Synchrotron Micro-XRF analyses of Pedro drill core specimens, we have strong mineralogical evidence that further supports the classification of the Pedro gold mineralization as "Carlin-style", an important concept that will be applied to our exploration modelling."
