Thank you Aedo. The company came out with an announcement yesterday. I am wondering if you, or anyone can find anything really interesting about it, like red flags (obvious or not so obvious):
Drill Hole CSD-16-018 (“Hole 18”), is at a depth of 1829.7m, extending the rich lower portions of the Alpala deposit, and confirming the deepest mineralised intrusive body discovered at the project to date. Drilling continues towards a planned depth of 2300m. Hole 18 has intersected visible copper mineralisation from 903.9m depth to current depth, including a 330m intersection of exceptionally intense quartz - copper sulphide veining, up to 45% of the rock mass, from 1179.7m to 1509.3m.
Drill Hole CSD-16-019 (“Hole 19”), at a current depth of 727.9m. Drilling intersected strong visible copper mineralisation from 473.1m depth, which continues at current depth. Bornite, a 64% copper sulphide mineral, occurs from 668m depth in hole 19. Bornite is an important metal that raises mill concentrate grades significantly.
Hole 19 confirms the to date, and extends the upper portions of the Alpala deposit above holes 12 and 16. Drilling continues to the planned depth of 1600m.
Drill Hole CSD-16-020R (“Hole 20R”), is at a current depth of 676.7m, as drilling passes through hydrothermal breccias and volcanic rocks towards the deepest richest portion of the Alpala Deposit, some 600m below known mineralisation.
Mobilization of additional, large, track mounted, deep hole directional Sandvik DE880 top drive drilling rig (“Rig 4”) has been initiated. Engineering and building of a third, custom, deep hole directional man-portable Hydracore drilling rig (“Rig 5”) with depth capabilities up to 2600m is underway.
Independent Technical report on the Cascabel Project is in preparation under National Instrument 43-101 and accompanying Documents 43-101F1 and 43- 101CP by SRK Exploration in preparation for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) in early 2017.
What is known for sure is that the deposit is deep, very deep and block caving is planned. That part about Hole 19 'confirming shallowest mineralised intrusive body discovered at the project' (at 473.1m?), does that mean, if I have read it correctly that the deposit starts at that depth? And that depth defnitely rules out a surface mining operation already?
Oh, and 64% copper sulphide mineral obviously does not mean Cu content of 64% right?
