Azure Minerals has begun a drilling 24-hole drilling program totaling 9186 feet at its Cascada copper prospect of the Promontorio copper, gold, silver project in Chihuahua Mexico. This follows up on an intercept of 230 feet at 2.7 per cent copper equivalent from 137 feet from the last drilling program.
Numerous outcrops of vuggy silica were channel sampled with the majority returning elevated gold grades over one gram per ton gold up to a maximum of 9.8 gram per ton gold. Azure believes this widespread gold anomalism at surface could be a pathfinder representing copper mineralization at depth. Promontorio is a high sulphidation, epithermal system where base and precious metal mineralization is contained in veins of massive and semi massive sulphides.
Sulphide mineralization is predominantly enargite and pyrite, with minor chalcocite and chalcopyrite.
