Prismo Metals Inc. (CSE: PRIZ | OTCQB: PMOMF) has reported assay results from its trenching programme at its Los Pavitos gold exploration project. The 5,289ha (20 square miles) Los Pavitos project is in the well-mineralized Alamos region of southern Sonora State, Mexico.
Results show wide zones of mineralization, with the best being 4m with 10.3g/t Au and 104g/t Ag within a 19m-long mineralized interval at Las Auras and 7.8m with 2.31g/t Au and 13g/t Ag at Santa Cruz.
“Recent assays from trenches have confirmed that the narrow high-grade quartz veins defined in surface sampling at Los Pavitos are hosted by wider mineralized structures,” commented Prismo Metals CEO and president, Dr. Craig Gibson.
“This is important because wider zones of gold mineralization near surface could be important for future development of the property. We are looking forward to exploring these mineralized zones by drilling, planned to commence shortly.”
The trenching programme across the main mineralized trends on the Los Pavitos property is well underway.
Assay results have now been received for 146 samples from a combined length of 309.3m in eleven trenches in the Santa Cruz and Las Auras areas. The best assays for individual samples are 20.4g/t Au and 207g/t Ag over 2m at Las Auras and 16.7g/t Au and 48.2g/t Ag over 1m at Santa Cruz.
The main objective of the trenching programme is to define the orientation and full width of the mineralized structures prior to starting the drill campaign. An additional 157 samples for 298.2m have been taken from 10 trenches and will be submitted to the lab this week. Approximately 250m of trenching remains to be completed.
Prismo is a Vancouver-based mining exploration company focused on two precious metal projects in Mexico (Palos Verdes and Los Pavitos) and a copper project in Arizona (Hot Breccia).
