Textures are indicative of a variant of an epithermal hydrothermal breccia complex. The new discovery zone is contained within the project's Venadas target area 1000 meters south of La Cigarra's established NI 43-101 resource.

We are looking forward to further drill testing of this exciting new discovery.\" \n\nThe results represent only the upper part of the zone, as the hole was unable to drill further due to encountering faulted rock. Accordingly, it is believed the larger and stronger part of the system remained untested by the hole. In hole CC-17-26 more than ...
