The Cieneguita deposit is associated with a diatreme breccia body where oxide and sulfide mineralization is mainly hosted by moderately to pervasively quartz-sericite altered diatreme breccias and lapilli tuffs. The mineralized body is shaped like a funnel which has been flattened laterally.
Drill hole CI-34 was collared in the western portion of the Cieneguita mineralized system, where the best grades and greatest thickness of precious and base metals mineralization have been found, which seems to represent the main conduit of the diatreme. Mineralization intersected in CI-34 and CI-29 (previously released) suggests that mineralization still remains open to west, southwest and to depth in the western part of the Cieneguita deposit.
Mexoro's exploration drilling program continues to the west, where access road and drilling platforms have been completed to explore the Cieneguita's potential to the west. Parallel to this exploration drilling in the western portion, an infill drilling program has been initiated, including preparing access roads and drilling platforms and bringing a second drill rig. This infill drilling program is designed to significantly expand the inferred resources of 14.86 mt @ 2.12 g/t Au Eq. and to be ready to prepare a more rigorous NI43-101 complaint resource estimation.
Geological section (West-East direction) looking north along the Cieneguita deposit. It is showing that potential is still open further west, southwest and to depth as illustrated by drill hole CI-34, CI-30 y CI-35 as all three hole ended in significant Pb-Zn mineralization.
