Trevali Mining Corp. (TSXV:TV) has discovered high-grade zinc at its Santander Pipe target in the Santander Zinc Mine in Peru.
The discovery was made through the company’s 2017 exploration program, using directional diamond drilling. The drilling intersected multiple high-grade zinc mineralization spots within and below the area.
“From our initial discovery drill hole in February 2008, Trevali has enjoyed almost 10-years of accretive resource growth and replacement at Santander. Given the coarse style of the mineralization, absence of significant amounts of barren sulphide and location immediately adjacent to the mine infrastructure, the Santander Pipe forms a compelling high-priority target,” said Dr. Mark Cruise, Trevali’s President and CEO. “The exploration team currently has two surface and two underground drill rigs expanding the mineralized system which remains to be fully delineated.”
The company will continue its exploratory drilling program until the end of the year, testing targets in and around the Santander Pipe, followed by surface drilling.
