Canyon Silver assay results
Further to the announcement of 24
April 2024 and the 2 of May, Armadale Capital Plc (TIDM:ACP), an
AIM quoted investment company focused on natural resource
projects, is pleased to announce the first
assay results of mineralisation exposed by the reopening of
historic shafts have confirmed grades of silver and lead
mineralisation of up to 1010 g/t silver and 18% lead..
A sample of sulphide mineralisation
was taken from both the number 2 and number 3 shafts with both
samples producing high grades. The sample from shaft number 3
returned 1,010 g/t silver and 18.0% lead, while the sample from the
number 2 shaft returned 412 g/t silver and 18.3% lead. Samples were
assayed using XFR in accordance with the JORC code for
mineralisation of this type.
The deposit has been inaccessible
since 1987 due to a cave-in which has now largely been cleared. The
Canyon Silver are in the process of installing critical mining
infrastructure, including air and water lines, with a further
objective to reinstalling electrification up to the hoist room.
Shareholders will be kept updated with progress as it is
made.
By continuing to open up both Number
2 and Number 3 portals further mineralisation is expected to be
exposed in the coming weeks giving the company a good platform to
fully explore the size and grade of the deposit. It is
currently estimated that it will take 60 days to open up these
portals allowing access to more of the deposit, and further work
will be considered to open up ore passes and other access between
the portal to expose further areas of mineralisation.
With two open tunnels and the
employment of modern geological techniques, Armadale believe
significant value can be added to the historical information of the
mine in a short period of time.
Silver continues to test recent
highs above $US29 per ounce which will have a material impact on
the potential of the project. According to live prices from the
