Mina Guanaca Drilling Returns 0.91% Cu Over 56 Metres Including 20 Metres Grading 1.88% Cu
Cascada Silver Corp. has announced the successful completion of its Phase I drill program at the Mina Guanaca Copper Project, with significant copper mineralization found in 3 out of 4 holes. The drill hole GAS-04 revealed a 56m interval grading 0.91% Cu, including a 20m interval grading 1.88% Cu. Two drill holes indicated a new zone of copper oxide mineralization extending to depths of 80 to 100m below the surface, which is still open along strike and depth. The findings suggest that the copper mineralization is related to breccias extending from a depth of 75m to the surface.
Phenom Reports Dobbin Gold Footprint Update, Nevada
Phenom Resources Corp. has provided an update on the developments of the Dobbin gold soil anomaly. The company has identified a 600 metre long by 200 metre wide trend with similar alteration, which is interpreted as an extension of the gold anomaly. Preliminary soil results from this new segment are promising, though they only partially define the extension. Crews have been dispatched to expand the soil grid to cover a suspected remaining part of the anomaly. The gold soil anomaly is at least 1.3 kilometres in length and has the potential to be extended. The anomaly is believed to be controlled by northeast-trending structures. Phenom owns the Carlin Gold-Vanadium Project, located in Nevada, and also has options on three other gold projects
