Candelaria Mining Announces Updated NI 43-101 Technical Report and Resource Estimate For Caballo Blanco
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/08/17 -- Candelaria Mining Corp. ("Candelaria" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: CAND)(OTCQX: CDELF)(FRANKFURT: 29LN) announces that it has received an updated NI 43-101 technical report for the Caballo Blanco property entitled "Technical Report-Caballo Blanco Project, Resource Update, La Paila Zone, Veracruz State, Mexico" dated April 20, 2017. The technical report provides an update of the La Paila Zone which covers the northern extent of the property and incorporates 55 additional drill holes that were not included in the previous March 2012 resource estimate (see April 24, 2017 press release). The additional drill holes were from drilling which occurred between January and May of 2012. The resource estimate is contained within a conceptual pit.
Mineral Resource Estimate
Ramon Perez, CEO of Candelaria commented, "We are pleased to have these new drill holes incorporated into an updated resource estimate for the La Paila Zone. While the ounces in the resource are lower as compared to the previous 2012 report due to the introduction of a pit constraint, the overall in-pit resource did not change materially. The tighter drill hole spacing gives us more confidence in the deposit. We have also identified important drill targets going forward. As we advance the technical work on the project and perform additional drilling beyond the current pit constraint area, we expect to see an increase to the resource at La Paila. We are encouraged by the multiple drill ready targets located within the bigger Caballo Blanco project area."
A copy of the technical report will be filed and available on SEDAR on May 8, 2017.
Mr. Jim Cuttle, B.Sc, P.Geo. a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed, and approved the technical information in this news release.
CABALLO BLANCO OVERVIEW
Two large areas of epithermal gold mineralization have been discovered within the current Caballo Blanco property, referred to as the Northern Zone and Highway Zone. Both are prominent high-sulphidation and low-sulphidation epithermal gold prospects respectively, that occur within extensive areas of clay and silica alteration. The discovery of gold mineralization at La Paila in the Northern Zone is relatively new for this region of Mexico. The gold is very fine and occurs in a vuggy and brecciated silica alteration of an original andesite host rock in the upper levels of the surrounding epithermal systems.
The elongate and silicified gold rich mineralization at La Paila likely formed from fluid rising along a north trending fault structure well above a deeper intrusive ''heat source''. Similar silica and clay alteration zones have been recognized on the Property at other areas in the Northern Zone and the Highway Zone that lie along a north-south linear trend over a distance greater than nine kilometres.
La Paila is located on the north end of this trend and contains significant gold mineralization with drill intercepts of 2.194 grams per tonne gold over 89.91 metres (08CDN-04), 0.584 grams per tonne gold over 216.41 metres (07CBN-02) and 1.078 grams per tonne gold over 59.7 metres (11CBN-183). True widths are unknown.
Previous metallurgical work on mineralized core and surface samples from La Paila by previous owners has been favourable. Initial bottle roll testing indicate that the ore is highly amenable to leaching. The gold ore is totally oxidised to at least 300 metres depth and is benign in leaching since there appears to be no other minerals or deleterious materials present.
