Reyna Silver Begins Drilling at Guigui Property in Mexico
December 09 2020 - 6:00AM
Reyna Silver Corp. (TSXV:RSLV;
OTCQB:RSNVF; FRA:4ZC)
(“Reyna”) is pleased to announce that drilling has started at its
Guigui Project in the Santa Eulalia District, Chihuahua, Mexico.
Santa Eulalia is Mexico’s largest Carbonate Replacement Deposit
(CRD) but despite over 300 years of continuous mining activity, the
intrusive source for the system, which is Reyna’s initial target
focus, has not been found.
Targeting is based on a combination of geology,
geochemistry, geophysics and hyperspectral satellite imagery
analysis, with the initial holes targeting coincident anomalies in
all of these. Reyna received drill permits covering much more of
the Guigui project area than will be drilled initially; giving
flexibility to follow results and room to expand without additional
permitting (See Press Release dated November 24, 2020). The map
below show the location of the first drill holes as well as the
other planned drill holes under this permit.
The initial drilling program will consist of
approximately 10,000 metres at an estimated cost of C$1,800,000.
Reyna’s cash position remained strong as of the end of Q3 2020 at
C$11,900.000, allowing ample funding for subsequent drilling.
“We are very excited to begin Reyna Silver’s
first ever drill campaign!” stated Jorge Ramiro Monroy, CEO of
Reyna. “Our target is the source of Mexico’s largest CRD system and
we are pleased to be building on decades of groundwork done in the
district.”
“The initial holes are targeting a series of
strong geological and related anomalies that coincide above where
the CRD exploration model suggests the underlying engine for the
system should lie,” said Dr. Peter Megaw, Chief Technical Advisor
for Reyna Silver. “These targets have never been drilled because
they underlie two previously separate land packages. Reyna has
combined these packages and we are looking forward to what the
drill reveals.”
Reyna Silver is building on extensive geological
work done by MAG Silver Corp. MAG’s work included drilling,
geophysics, sampling and mapping that narrowed the target area and
since taking the property over, Reyna has acquired critical ground
that MAG did not control. Reyna’s in-house work includes extensive
additional mapping and sampling based on high-resolution
Hyperspectral and ASTER Satellite imagery and reprocessing of
detailed airborne geophysics flown by MAG Silver over a decade ago,
but never drilled. Reyna Silver’s initial 10,000-meter drill
campaign is based on compilation and reinterpretation of all these
data.

About Santa EulaliaThe Santa
Eulalia District is the largest CRD system known in Mexico and has
been in continuous production for over 300 years, producing 510 Moz
of silver, 4.2 MT of lead, 3.6 MT of zinc, from over 50MT of ores
at average grades of 310 g/t Ag, 8.2% Pb and 7.1%Zn. All of this
production came from the medial chimney and proximal manto part of
the system, but the proximal intrusive source for the whole
district remains to be found. This source is expected to have large
volume mineralized skarns associated with it as are seen in most
similar systems throughout Mexico.
