Astra Exploration Inc. (TSXV: ASTR) has received strong results from the remaining 18 of 30 completed drill holes at the Pampa Paciencia gold-silver project in northern Chile.
Highlights
• New results expand mineralization at the Paciencia Vein to over 300 metres where it remains open at depth and along strike
• Second zone at Paciencia Oeste Vein now defined over 200 metres where it remains open at depth and along strike
HOLE PPRC-22-36:
• 3.96 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 37.67 g/t silver over three metres downhole (mDH) within a broader zone of 0.92 g/t gold and 8.61 g/t silver over 31 mDH at the Paciencia vein
HOLE PPRC-22-24:
• 5.53 g/t gold and 47.1 g/t silver over one metre and 2.78 g/t gold and 75.6 g/t silver over two mDH within a broader zone of 0.72 g/t gold and 19.38 g/t silver over 25 mDH at Paciencia Oeste vein
HOLE PPRC-22-28:
• 4.02 g/t gold and 26.9 g/t silver over two mDH within a broader zone of 1.45 g/t gold and 12.59 g/t silver over nine mDH at Paciencia Este vein
“Astra’s maiden drill program has accomplished two important goals at Pampa Paciencia. First, we have identified two high-grade shoots within the Paciencia Vein system, both of which remain open along strike and at depth,” CEO, Brian Miller, said.
“Second, we have made blind vein discoveries which demonstrates the effectiveness of the company’s geologic model and exploration methods. Early indications suggest that we could be in the upper levels of the gold mineralisation with significant room to grow beneath these shallow intercepts. Astra will next complete a Phase 2 programme to expand these open intersections and explore for new vein structures.”
