Silver Elephant Mining (TSX:ELEF) has announced the discovery of gallium and indium at its Pulacayo-Paca silver-lead-zinc project in Bolivia’s Potosi department. The company reported assay results showing gallium levels up to 34 g/t and indium levels up to 266 g/t over a 750-meter strike length.
The assays were conducted on 199 core samples from 12 diamond drill holes at the site. These samples were selected based on their proximity to previous drill holes that had shown promising results for gallium and indium. Earlier testing on those holes had revealed 99 meters containing 27.8 g/t gallium and 9.7 g/t indium.
According to Silver Elephant, the gallium and indium occurrences appear to correlate with zinc mineralization at the site. The company stated it will continue evaluating the potential of these elements, noting they could add significant value to any concentrate produced from future mining operations.
