Drilling Commences At Sarape Gold And Silver Project

 

VANCOUVER, BC - Evrim Resources Corp. reported that a drilling program has commenced at the Sarape epithermal gold-silver project in northern Sonora, Mexico.  

“The undrilled Sarape Project is located in the Rio Sonora Valley, an emerging precious metals mining district that includes Silvercrest’s Las Chispas deposit, Premier Gold’s Mercedes Mine, and First Majestic’s Santa Elena Mine and Ermitano deposit,” said Stewart Harris, VP of Technical Services. “Drilling is planned to test the Sarape and Chiltepin veins; targets that have potential for significant gold-silver shoots beneath zones of favorable geochemistry.”

The 5,349 hectare Sarape epithermal gold-silver project is located near excellent infrastructure with roads and power access (Figure 1).  The project consists of the Sarape Vein, a 6.0 kilometer long vein measuring up to 12 metres wide, and the Chiltepin Vein, a 2.6 kilometer long vein measuring up to 3.0 metres wide.

Work completed in 2018 included detailed mapping of the veins and surrounding area, sampling, and an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey.  Systematic channel sampling has shown that the western portion of both veins contains barren white quartz and calcite that are interpreted to be a late, shallow part of the system.  The eastern portion of the Sarape vein includes a separate phase of low-temperature, tan green quartz that grades from 0.10 to 3.63 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold and individual samples at the Chiltepin vein assay from trace to 3.66 g/t gold.
