Halcones Precious Metals Intersects 2.75 g/t Gold and 20.94 g/t Silver Over 10 m and 1.09 g/t Gold and 17.35 g/t Silver Over 11 m at Carachapampa Project, Chile
April 27 2023 - 6:00AM
Halcones Precious Metals Corp. (TSX – V: HPM) (the
“Company” or “Halcones”) is pleased to provide results from the
exploration program at the Carachapampa project (“Carachapampa” or
the “Project”). Carachapampa is located in the prolific Maricunga
belt approximately 180 km northeast of the city of Copiapo with
year-round road access (Figure 1).
Drilling Highlights
Hole CAR23-008 returned 1.09 g/t Au and 17.35
g/t Ag over 11 m from 81 m down hole at the Central Target
including 1.53 g/t Au and 27.82 g/t Ag over 6 m.
Hole CAR23-012 returned 2.75 g/t Au and 20.94
g/t Ag over 10 m from 79 m down hole at the Northwest Target. This
is part of a broader mineralized interval of 1.3 g/t Au and 11.73
g/t Ag over 24 m from 73 m downhole.
According to Ian Parkinson, CEO and Director of
Halcones, “These results are very encouraging, coming from a
limited diamond drill campaign testing extensive targets. The
program demonstrates that mineralizing systems have deposited
significant gold within the property. These results provide a
strong base from which to evaluate controls of mineralization on
these previously unidentified targets and warrant persisting with
further work. The alteration and mineralization observed in these
drill holes, with silicification and development of vuggy quartz
textures is precisely analogous to producing mines in the
area.”
Halcones drilled 7 holes totaling 1,524 m, drill
testing the depth extent of surface sample results announced in
November 2022 (see press release dated November 23, 2022). Three of
the seven holes returned mineralized intervals greater than 1 g/t
over significant widths. Drilling was focused on shallow, near
surface targets less than 75 m from surface (Figure 2 and 3). A
complete summary of drill data is included in Table 1.
Next Steps
Assays have now been received from all seven holes. The Halcones
exploration team is analysing these results before planning next
steps for the Carachapampa project.
