Astra Exploration Inc. (TSXV: ASTR) has commenced Phase II drilling at its Pampa Paciencia Project located in Northern Chile.
The Phase II drill programme will consist of up to 5,000 metres of RC drilling and will primarily focus on expanding mineralisation at depth and along strike in the two defined mineralised shoots located in the Paciencia Vein System.
Secondary targets will consist of other vein structures discovered with Phase I drill program and newly interpreted vein structures from other geophysical targets, in particular those WNW, E-W to ENE-striking magnetic lineaments related with low magnetic regional anomalies.
“This is an exciting time for Astra shareholders as we further drill-test the recently defined zones of high-grade mineralisation and simultaneously look to expand the potential of the district by drilling other vein structures. Exploration to date demonstrates that the LSE system at Pampa Paciencia is large with thick, continuous vein structures, and positive drill results have the ability to add significant value to Astra’s market cap,” CEO, Brian Miller, said.
