The latest results come from the area along the connection drift between the Smith and SSX underground mines. Follow-up drilling at the Smith mine returned multiple high-grade gold intersections in two drill holes, one of which had assays of 19.97 g/t over 20.9m (including 5.12 g/t over 7.6m and 4.25 g/t Au over 13.3m).
“This gold intercept looks to have identified another high-grade underground mineralized pod near current mining activities, with similar gold grades to the recently discovered Zone 10 area. Additional follow up exploration holes are planned over the next few months to further define the dimensions and overall size of this exciting new area, which is located only 80 metres away from underground access,” said CEO Keith Neumeyer in a media statement.
According to First Majestic, the two Smith holes appear to extend the potential of the previously intersected gold mineral zone to approximately 200 metres. The new…
