[{"type":"text","content":"AbraPlata to Resume Drilling High Grade Gold and Silver Targets at Diablillos Project(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nToronto - TheNewswire - May 19, 2020 - AbraPlata Resource Corp. (TSXV:ABRA) (OTCPK:ABBRF) (\"AbraPlata\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce plans to recommence drilling at the Diablillos silver-gold project, located in the mining-friendly Salta province in Argentina. A drilling contractor is now mobilizing to site, with diamond drilling expected to commence by June 5th, 2020. \n\n\n \nOculto Drill Program\n\n\n \nDiamond drilling is scheduled to resume on the Oculto deposit in order to test the continuation of high-grade gold and silver mineralization within and outside the current mineral resource (Table 2). The next four holes (approximately 1,600 metres) will target lateral extensions of the high-grade oxide gold mineralization intercepted by the most recent drill holes. Table 1 below highlights several of the high-grade intercepts obtained by AbraPlata in the most recent drill campaign (for further details please refer to the Company's press releases dated February 19, 2020 and January 27, 2020). \n\n\n \nOne of the planned holes will be drilled into the Main Breccia zone, approximately 50 metres east of hole DDH 20-001 and one hole will be drilled into the West Breccia zone, approximately 50 metres east of hole DDH 19-002. The other two holes are planned to test for eastern extension of the deep gold zone 200 to 300 meters beyond current drill holes. \n\n\n \nTable 1 - Summary of 2019-2020 High-Grade Oculto Drill Results\n\n \n\nDrill Hole\n\n\n\n\nFrom (m)\n\n\n\n\nTo (m)\n\n\n\n\nType\n\n\n\n\nIntercept (m)\n\n\n\n\nThickness (m)\n\n\n\n\nAg (g/t)\n\n\n\n\nAu (g/t)\n\n\n\n\nCu (%)\n\n\n\n\nDDH 19-001\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n166.0\n\n\n\n\n231.0\n\n\n\n\nOxides\n\n\n\n\n65.0\n\n\n\n\n54.20\n\n\n\n\n105\n\n\n\n\n0.20\n\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n\n\nincluding\n\n\n\n\n201.0\n\n\n\n\n204.0\n\n\n\n\nOxides\n\n\n\n\n3.0\n\n\n\n\n2.50\n\n\n\n\n346\n\n\n\n\n0.30\n\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n \n\n\n353.0\n\n\n\n\n354.0\n\n\n\n\nSulphides\n\n\n\n\n1.0\n\n\n\n\n0.83\n\n\n\n\n15\n\n\n\n\n6.93\n\n\n\n\n0.54\n\n\n\n\nDDH 19-002\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n56.0\n\n\n\n\n78.0\n\n\n\n\nOxides\n\n\n\n\n22.0\n\n\n\n\n18.33\n\n\n\n\n17\n\n\n\n\n2.74\n\n\n\n\n-\n\n\n \n\n\n137.5\n\n\n\n\n155.0\n\n\n\n\nOxides\n\n\n\n\n17.5\n\n\n\n\...
