Fuerte has now reported twenty holes totalling 5,411.5 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).Drilling HighlightsHighlights of the holes reported here, all from the main Guadalupe vein system, include:7.3 g/t AuEq over 2.5 m estimated true width (7.0 g/t Au, 11.2 g/t Ag, 0.15% Zn, 0.05% Pb and 0.04% Cu) in hole ACD24-238This 2.5 m wide intercept occurs within a broader zone of mineralization measuring 2.5 g/t AuEq over 13.0 m estimated true width (1.9 g/t Au, 23.1 g/t Ag, 0.21% Zn 0.13% Pb and 0.06% Cu)7.5 g/t AuEq over 1.5 m estimate true width (2.0 g/t Au, 296.6 g/t Ag, 1.69% Zn, 0.48% Pb and 0.16% Cu) in hole ACD24-240This 1.5 m wide intercept occurs within a broader mineralized zone measuring 3.8 g/t AuEq over 4.1 m estimated true width (1.6 g/t Au, 117.6 g/t Ag, 0.64% Zn, 0.30% Pb, 0.07% Cu).A second interval in this hole graded 2.0 g/t AuEq over 12.0 m estimated true width (1.0 g/t Au, 36.3 g/t Ag, 0.37% Zn, 0.17% Pb, 0.13% Cu).9.2 g/t AuEq over 0.9 m estimated true width (5.4 g/t Au, 167.0 g/t Ag, 1.87% Zn, 0.82 % Pb, 0.12% Cu) in hole ACD24-239This 0.9 m wide intercept occurs within a broader mineralized zone measuring 1.9 g/t AuEq over 10.0 m estimated true width (1.1 g/t Au, 37.5 g/t Ag, 0.26% Zn, 0.14% Pb, 0.06% Cu).Tim Warman, Atacama's CEO, commented: \"We've now completed 20 holes in the Guadalupe vein as part of the current program, and have successfully defined at least three high-grade zones that appear amenable to underground mini...
