Diamond Drill core results MWN 09-05 Navojoa Project
WMR-TSX.V
The R.C. drilling results (No.WMR 09-09) contains several intersections with anomalous mineralization up to 205.7 meters in length. These anomalous copper and silver results are interpreted to be indicative of the outer halo portions of a precious metal bearing porphyry copper deposit system. The Diamond Drill Core results reported in the table below for the core hole further support this interpretation. Difficulties with the core rig lead to abandoning the hole in mineralization at a vertical depth of about 21 meters.
DIAMOND DRILL CORE RESULTS MWN 09-05 NAVOJOA PROJECT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEIGHTED AVERAGE DEPTH --------------------------- MWN 09-05 IN METERS S % Cu % Ag g/t Fe % ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leached Zone 0-9.15 0.06 0.03 1.7 5.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sulphide Zone 9.15-21.01 5.17 0.28 0.44 18.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total for Hole 21.01 2.93 0.17 1.0 12.5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analytical results for MWN 09-05 are encouraging and provide confirmation of leaching of the primary sulphide mineralization in the upper portion of the hole where S% and Cu% are depleted. The copper and silver content within the pyrrhotite - pyrite sulphide-marble-calc silicate skarn horizon varies with the degree of leaching, with the deepest mineralization reporting the highest values. The final 0.35 meters of the hole graded 0.76% copper and over limit (greater than 10g/t) silver before the hole was stopped. Discovery of weathered limonite outcropping mineralization during regional Phase One prospecting led to selection of this site for diamond drill core testing. Other similar limonitic replacement of sulphides in outcrop exposures at the Yori target have since been discovered but IP geophysical surveying of these areas has not yet been completed.
Drill core was placed in core boxes and logged at the property where it was picked up by Sonora Sample Preparation (SSP) staff and delivered to their facility in Hermosillo,
