InvestmentPitch Media Video Discusses Astra Exploration’s Results from the first 11 of 30 Completed Drill Holes at the Pampa Paciencia Gold-Silver Project in Northern Chile, with Intercepts as High as 14.48 g/t Gold over 3m in Maiden Drill Program
May 03 2022 - 5:00AM
Astra Exploration (TSXV:ASTR) has released results from the first
11 of 30 completed drill holes at the Pampa Paciencia gold-silver
project in northern Chile. The flagship 3,840-hectare,
road-accessible, low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver project is
located within an active mining district less than 15 kilometers
from two major mines, Sierra Gorda and Spence, and 5 kilometers
from the Faride mine, in the Antofagasta Region in northern Chile.

Astra has completed property wide mapping and
sampling, geophysical surveys, and localized trenching and in doing
so, has defined a vein boulder field over approximately 75% of the
project area. The veins do not outcrop as the majority of the
project area is covered by a thin layer of gravels and caliche but
the vein float can be used to identify areas of high
prospectivity.
Reverse circulation drilling commenced on veins
within the interpreted five km long North Zone vein corridor. A
total of 2,981 metres were completed in thirty holes between
February and March 2022, which mostly concentrated on defining the
strike and depth continuity of the Paciencia Vein system.
Three holes tested veins at depth in the Central
Zone and two holes tested geophysical targets in the North Zone.
The 11 holes reported today targeted the Paciencia Vein within that
corridor along a strike length of 400 metres. All holes intercepted
the vein, with several intercepting a sub parallel footwall
splay.
Eleven historical holes had been drilled
previously on the property and Astra's geologists continued with
the numbering system, with hole PPRC-22-12 being the first of the
current holes. Historical drill holes were widely spaced leaving
significant strike and dip length to expand the historical drill
intercepts into larger bodies of mineralization.
These first results strongly support this
interpretation with holes PPRC-22-12, PPRC-22-13 and PPRC22-14
expanding mineralization to the east where it remains open along
strike and at depth.
Highlights include hole PPRC-22-12 with 14.48 g/t
Au and 39.7 g/t Ag over 3m downhole, within a broader zone of 2.71
g/t Au and 10.8 g/t Ag over 21m downhole. Hole PPRC-22-13 with 3.28
g/t Au and 58.3 g/t Ag over 6m downhole within a broader zone of
1.6 g/t Au and 21.3 g/t Ag over 22m downhole. Hole PPRC-22-14, with
4.09 g/t Au and 45.22 g/t Ag over 4m downhole within a broader zone
of 1.39 g/t Au and 17.1 g/t Ag over 17m downhole. Drill assays for
the remaining 18 holes are expected before the end of May.
