TSXV: AWM WWW.ANGELWINGMETALS.COM
VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 22, 2025 /CNW/ - Angel Wing Metals Inc. (TSXV: AWM) ("Angel Wing Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to report the commencement of a phase 1 - 1,500 metre ("m") diamond drill program at the La Reyna Gold Project in Nayarit, Mexico.
The first phase of the program will include 10 -12 holes aimed at confirming historical surface sampling grades, on strike continuity, orientation and depth of known mineralization, and artisanal mine workings.
Highlights include:
- La Reyna represents a new greenfields gold project that has never been drill tested.
- 1,500 metre diamond drill program has commenced.
- Drilling will test 6 – 8 target areas with known surface gold mineralization and historic artisanal mining operations.
- Historic trench results from some of the targets include 5.03 g/t Au gold over 21.0 metres, 1.21 g/t Au over 12.7 metres and 0.92 g/t Au over 15.52 metres.
- Outcrop assay results collected by the Company also confirms the gold mineralization and include 27.12 g/t Au and 90.0 g/t Ag over a 0.45 metre channel, 6.58 g/t Au and 4.25 g/t Au over 1.0 metre panels, and a grab sample with 2.42 g/t Au and 399 g/t Ag.
Drilling will initially be focused on the Dolorosa, Zorrillo, San Ramon, and El Polo targets. (Figure 1)
Overall, the Company is optimistic about the potential for new discoveries at La Reyna given it remains currently relatively underexplored yet boasts indications of a significant mineral system located within a prolific gold mining district.
