Airborne Geophysical Program At La Cigarra Silver Project

 

VANCOUVER - Northair Silver Corp. has contracted MPX Geophysics Ltd. to complete an airborne geophysical program on the Company's La Cigarra silver project located in Chihuahua State, Mexico.

"We are excited to begin this geophysical phase of exploration on our project that will assist our team in prioritizing drill targets within and adjacent to our known zones of mineralization" said, Andrea Zaradic, President and CEO of Northair. "We expect the results of the Program to considerably improve our geologic understanding of the project as we prepare for our next phase of exploration drilling."

The airborne survey is scheduled with the flight pattern designed around known mineral orientations and the Company's interpretations of important structural controls at La Cigarra. The Primary Survey area which totals 262 line-kilometers will be flown then evaluated prior to flying the Secondary, or total survey area. The total proposed area would consist of 1,059 line-kilometers covering an area of approximately 95 square kilometers. The high sensitivity aeromagnetic survey should detect major structures and/or underlying intrusions potentially associated with silver mineralization on the project. The Program will include radiometrics to aid in the identification and distribution of alteration and the survey will also provide important geologic detail to help target more deep seated mineralization. The large, long-lived silver mines of Santa Barbara and San Francisco del Oro are on strike 25 kilometers SSE of La Cigarra and Northair believes that high-grade vein systems, similar to Santa Barbara and San Francisco del Oro, may underlie the stockwork-vein hosted silver deposits at La Cigarra.
