Sunset Cove Discovers New Vein That Shows Strong Silver Mineralization
TORONTO, March 2, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - (TSXV: SSM) (BVL: SSM) Recent surface exploration by Sunset Cove Mining Inc. ("Sunset Cove") has lead to the discovery of the Carolay 4 structure. It is a north-south vein with an inclination of 80° NE. This vein was found in a drift that is 13-meters long and is close to surface. This drift was exploited sometime in the past. The Carolay 4 vein is located approximately 13 meters above the Carolay vein.
"The discovery of this adit and the new vein by our team is extremely positive news," said Lorne Woods President of Sunset Cove. "In addition the grades returned by assaying are higher than that of the Carolay Vein."
The Carolay 4 vein is a structure composed of three mineralized bands. The first band is characterized by disseminated sulfides and veinlets associated iron and manganese oxides. The second band is composed of rock with veinlets of iron oxides. And the third band is characterized by veinlets of sulfides, iron and manganese oxides.
The average of the grades of the three bandings is 351.55gtAg, 0.67%Cu, 0.39%Pb and 0.81%Zn and measures 1.32 meters in width. Included in the samples was one returning 4,674g/t Ag.
The results were obtained from a systematic sampling program of the underground access infrastructures (drift) in the silver vein. These 22 samples were taken within the adit on the property. The width of the new Carolay 3 silver vein ranges from 0.53 to 2.21 meters over its 13-meter known length. The chip samples were taken every two-meters along the mineralized structure.
It is expected that when the first drill hole is completed we will have more information on the structures lying within the 200 meter wide by 1000 meter long Anomaly 1. Completion of the first drill hole and its results will be delayed by a short period due to heavier than expected rainfall that is also affecting most of the Andean area.
