Orvana Minerals (ORV) has completed Phase I of an infill and resource-growth drilling campaign at its Taguas Project in Argentina.
The campaign targeted the Oxides Horizon.
A five-month final Phase II is expected to start in November 2022.
Phase I consisted of 6,482.6 meters in 41 diamond drill holes with over 4,900 assay samples.
Juan Gavidia, CEO or Orvana sat down with Coreena Robertson to discuss the results.
“The DDH’s average drilling results and key intercepts continue to support Orvana’s Oxides development strategy for our Taguas multimillion-ounce Au-Ag Oxides-Sulfides Project. Also, the decision to incorporate the satellite higher-grade Cerro Campamento Sector will be key to improving project economics. We are excited, and eagerly awaiting, resource re-modeling by July 2022. Completion of Phase II will be the foundation of the 43-101 Pre-Feasibility Study for our Oxides Project in Taguas.”
Highlights:
- Phase I infill and growth drilling program on Taguas Oxides completed (41 holes totaling 6,482.6 meters).
- Mineralization encountered in all 41 holes.
- Grades generally equaling-improving average previous resource grades included in the Taguas 2021 PEA.
- Best drilling results included:
- TADD244: 61.2 meters @ 0.82 g/t Au and 16.59 g/t Ag
- TADD265: 72.8 meters @ 0.46 g/t Au and 6.04 g/t Ag
- TADD274: 27.7 meters @ 2.51 g/t Au and 10.61 g/t Ag
- Potential to reduce strip ratio in next open pit re-design.
- Phase II infill and growth drilling program expected to start in November 2022: additional 11,000 meters in Cerros Taguas Sector and 3,000 meters in Cerro Campamento Sector.
