TORONTO, Aug. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Discovery Metals Corp. (TSX-V: DSV) (“Discovery” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results of 112 underground samples from its drill-permitted Minerva Ag-Zn-Pb project (“Minerva” or “the Project”) in Coahuila State, Mexico. Three key underground areas were sampled: Mina Minerva, Concordia and Tercia. Gernot Wober, VP Exploration stated, “The first-ever documented underground results from the historic mines at Minerva were impressive. Mapping and sampling of the underground workings, in addition to surface work completed previously, continues to indicate that the mineralizing system is very high grade. The current results are extremely positive and support the drilling program that we plan to initiate later this year, the first drilling the Project has ever seen.” First underground results from Mina Minerva:At Mina Minerva, underground workings consist of approximately 460 metres (“m”) of lateral development and two vertical shafts, 30 m and 59 m deep, respectively. Seventy-eight samples were taken, dominantly representing manto and vein mineralization encountered during mapping; sixty-two of these samples returned grades higher than 150 grams per tonne silver equivalent (“g/t AgEq1) with an average grade of 1,594 g/t AgEq1. Fifty-three of these samples returned grades higher than 500 g/t AgEq1 with an average grade of 1,804 g/t AgEq1. The top 40 underground channel sample results by AgEq1 from Mina Minerva are listed below in Table 1. Table 1: Underground sample results from ...
