Sixty Four Drill Holes Completed At Iska Iska


TORONTO - Eloro Resources Ltd. reported on the Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project in the Potosi Department, southern Bolivia. To date, it has completed 34,409 meters (m) in 64 drill holes including three (3) in progress to test major target areas at Iska Iska. Drilling results from one (1) additional hole which tested the Santa Barbara Breccia Pipe (“SBBP”) (Hole DHK-23) and two holes (DCN-05 and DCS-03) which tested the Central Breccia Pipe target (“CBP”). To date, every drill hole that has been assayed has returned multiple reportable mineralized intercepts. Currently three drill rigs are in operation at Iska Iska. Two surface drill rigs are continuing to drill at SBBP to outline an initial National Instrument 43-101 (NI-43-101) compliant resource. A third drill, an underground rig, situated in the west end of the Santa Barbara Adit, is testing the eastern part of SBBP and its mineralized envelope.

Santa Barbara Breccia Pipe: 100g Ag eq/t (including 38.71 g Ag/t, 0.88%Zn and 0.51%Pb) over 188.5 m from 58.67m to 247.13m in hole DHK-23, drilled from the west end of the Huayra Kasa underground workings at -70 degrees due west. This intersection includes a higher-grade portion of 154 g Ag eq/t (including 75.51 g Ag/t, 0.96% Zn, 0.65% Pb and 0.16%Cu) over 65.8m.

Central Breccia Pipe: 1) Hole DCS-03 drilled southwest at -60 degrees from the south radial platform of the CBP intersected twelve (12) separate zones of quartz-tourmaline veins in granodioritic intrusive breccia with best results of 224.92 g Ag eq/t (including 25.36 g Ag/t, 0.12 g Au/t and 0.55% Sn) over 7.42m and 113.67 g Ag eq/t (including 17.85 g Ag/t, 0.085 g Au/t, 0.21% Cu and 0.18% Sn) over 12.03m. 2) Hole DCN-05 drilled due east at -60 degrees from the north radial platform of the CBP intersected ten (10) separate zones of quartz-tourmaline veins in granodioritic intrusive breccia with a best result of 104.72 g Ag eq/t (including 74.41 g Ag/t and 0.22% Cu) over 4.59m.

Tom Larsen, CEO, said, “We are now starting to see a reduction in the backlog of assay samples with two laboratories operating at near capacity. These latest drill results, especially from DHK-23, are again demonstrating the accumulating amount of potential commercial bulk tonnage material, especially within the Santa Barbara complex, a subset of the overall Iska Iska volcanic edifice.”
