VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 23, 2022 /CNW/ - Regency Silver Corp. ("Regency Silver" or the "Company") (TSXV: RSMX) (OTCQB: RSMXF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement dated September 22, 2022 (the "Option Agreement") to option a 100% undivided interest in the El Tablon Claims located in the State of Durango, Mexico.
The property covers a total of 7,200 hectares and contains numerous artisanal workings and tunnels, which explored many of the veins and veinlets that exist within the concession area.
The El Tablon Claims are located within the Sierra Madre Occidental prolific gold-silver belt only 16 miles from the historical Tayoltita (San Dimas district), which has historically produced more than 11 million ounces of gold and 582 million ounces of silver and which continues to be active with significant mineral resources. 1
The El Tablon Claims are in a similar geological environment, characterized by the presence of productive rocks of the Lower Volcanic Complex, to which subvolcanic felsic rock bodies with stockworks and gold dissemination are found. In addition, the canyons around El Tablon expose many other mineralized zones, and works can be found in the neighboring mines of the Ventanas, Mala Noche, and San Cayetano projects.
A Mexican Council on Natural Resources (CRM) (the precursor to the Mexican Geological Service) report from 2012 indicates the presence of 7 veins and breccias in a short space of land, which reported silver grades up to 1,402 g/t, lead up to 2.097%, copper up to 1.381%, and gold up to 1.00 g/t. One of the samples exceeded 10,000 g/t of silver. The El Tablon Claims have potential both for high grade silver veins and bulk mineable high volume-low grade polymetallic mineralization.2
In order to exercise the option, Regency Silver must pay US$50,000 on receipt of Exchange acceptance, issue a total of 1,000,000 common shares and pay back taxes and mining filings on or before March 31, 2024. Regency Silver must also pay a US$1,000,000 bonus upon a NI 43-101 resource being published, which estimates the El Tablon Claims contain a minimum of 70 million silver equivalent ounces or 1 million gold ounces in the measured or indicated categories. The shares are subject to a four month hold period and the agreement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
