AbraSilver Resource (TSX: ABRA) said assay results from drilling at its La Coipita copper and gold property in Argentina showed the presence of a significant porphyry system with expansion potential.
Result highlights from drillhole DDH-LC25-006 include 114 metres of 0.7% copper, 0.07 gram per tonne gold and 81 parts per million (ppm) molybdenum from 410 metres downhole, which has been interpreted as a secondary enrichment zone, AbraSilver said Thursday in a statement. A higher-grade interval of 20 metres at 1.03% copper, 0.08 gram per tonne gold and 71 ppm molybdenum from 412 metres depth was also reported.
Combined, the intercepts comprised 621 metres grading 0.38% copper, 0.07 gram gold and 62 ppm molybdenum, which AbraSilver said demonstrates the scale of the mineralized system.
“Wide intercept with moderate copper and modest gold piques…
