Fuerte has now reported twenty-five holes totalling 6,976.5 metres of drilling as part of a 40-50 hole, 21,000 metre drill program. The Cristina project consists of multiple outcropping quartz veins that are frequently greater than 10 metres in width and extend for at least a five-kilometre strike length. Four parallel mineralized vein zones have been mapped and sampled to date, with most of the existing mineral resource estimate at Cristina contained within only one of the vein zones, the Guadalupe vein (Figures 1 and 2). These latest results are widely spaced, expansion holes from a new vein area called the Los Ingleses vein system, approximately 2 km to the north of the Guadalupe vein system, drilled to identify higher grade trends within this vein. These intercepts are in the range of one kilometre lower in elevation from the surface of the Guadalupe vein which hosts the bulk of the current resource. Drilling HighlightsHighlights of the holes reported here, all from the Los Ingleses vein system, include:12.1 g/t AuEq over 1.1 m estimated true width (3.4 g/t Au, 150 g/t Ag, 4.80% Zn, 8.49% Pb and 0.21% Cu) in hole ACD24-2458.9 g/t AuEq over 1.2 m estimate true width (8.6 g/t Au, 21 g/t Ag, and 0.12% Pb) in hole ACD24-242This 1.2 m wide intercept occurs within a broader mineralized zone measuring 1.7 g/t AuEq over 10.5 m estimated true width (1.4 g/t Au, 19 g/t Ag, and 0.10% Pb).6.0 g/t AuEq over 2.8 m estimated true width (1.2 g/t Au, 88 g/t Ag, 5.02% Zn, 1.47 % Pb, 0.24% Cu), also in hole ACD24-242Tim Warman, Atacama's CEO, commented: \"These wide-spaced, expansion holes at Los Ingleses confirm the presence of high-grade mineralization on the eastern edge of the planned grid drilling, indicating the start of another high-grade shoot plunging to the east. This is an excellent start for expansion on a s...
