News Releases
During the present program, 11 surface float samples and 29 pit samples were collected from the Gossan Zone, while 1 float, 2 surface outcrop, and 5 pit samples were collected from the Vein Zone. Eight test-pits were located in the Gossan Zone, including 3 previously excavated and filled in by the prior operator, and 2 were located in the Vein Zone.
The test pits exposed saprolitic, clay-altered porphyry and schist beneath a 0.65 to 2.7 m deep soil cover. Samples were collected as vertical chip samples over the exposed b-horizon soil and underlying bedrock. Since the pits were excavated by hand, depth was limited to approximately 3 m or shallower.
Gossan Zone
The float samples collected from the Gossan Zone ranged from trace to 5.01 g/t gold, trace to 24 g/t silver, 36 to 2430 ppm copper, and 38 to 5740 ppm arsenic.
Gossan Zone pit sampling returned background to weakly anomalous values in gold and copper, with the best results coming from Pit 4, which returned 559 ppb (0.6 g/t) gold, 645 ppm copper, and 838 ppm arsenic over 1.1 meters. Mineralization is associated with clay-silica alteration in hydrothermal breccias. Pit 4 was located on the southwest flank of a 25 meter wide low-lying ridge trending NNE though the Gossan Zone. Although pitting 50m to the northwest and southeast of Pit 4 did not expose any mineralization the presence of epithermal style mineralizaion in float and in Pit 4 indicates that future trenching across this ridge is warranted.
Vein Zone
Float and outcrop samples collected from the Vein Zone ranged from 20 ppb to 3.21 g/t gold, trace to 2.2 g/t silver, 106 to 310 ppm copper, and 16 to 56 ppm arsenic.
The two pits excavated in the area of the anomalous float samples did not expose any mineralization, however more pitting/trenching is required farther upslope in this zone.
Samples reported in this news release were collected under the supervision of Mr. Nigel Hulme, P.Geo., a Qualified Person, who is acting as a consulting geologist to IMPACT Minerals International Inc. on the El Brujo project. Samples were sent to ALS Chemex Vancouver, which conducted ICP analyses on 28 elements. Analytical results were compiled by Mr. Hulme.
