TORONTO, Aug. 9, 2021 /CNW/ – Adventus Mining Corporation (“Adventus”) (TSXV: ADZN) (OTCQX: ADVZF) and Salazar Resources Limited (“Salazar”) (TSXV: SRL) (OTCQB: SRLZF) (collectively the “Partners”) are pleased to announce the identification of a new volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) system approximately 4.5 km southwest of the El Domo VMS deposit (“El Domo”) located within the 21,537-hectare Curipamba project in central Ecuador.
Highlights – Drill Results from the Agua Santa Target at Curipamba:
CREG-008 was the first drill hole at the Agua Santa target and intersected 6.34 metres of 1.77% copper, 1.46 g/t gold, 7.45% zinc, 23.2 g/t silver, and 0.24% lead – including 1.40 metres of 1.58% copper, 2.67 g/t gold, 31.20% zinc, 55.0 g/t silver, and 1.01% lead
One drill rig is actively working at Agua Santa following up the massive sulphide mineralization identified in drill hole CREG-008
Regional drilling on the Agua Santa target (Figure 1) started mid-June 2021 and six drill holes have been successfully completed totaling 1,588 metres with one drill hole in progress. VMS mineralization was identified in the first drill hole of the work program designed to test the edge of a Mobile MT (“MMT”) airborne geophysical anomaly (Figure 1) that coincided with both favourable geology and surface geochemistry results from prospecting in nearby creek beds. The drill site location was limited due to limited access to surface rights, but the Partners have recently purchased additional surface rights providing wider access and coverage of the MMT geophysical anomaly for additional drilling.
