September 23, 2008 @ 10:22 am In Silver Company News
Fortuna Silver Mines reports that it has confirmed high-grade silver mineralization in the recent underground exploration and development on Soledad and Silvia veins, Caylloma Mine in Peru.
The high-grade silver mineralization is hosted by semi-transparent to milky quartz veins containing silver sulfosalts, minor rhodonite bands, and traces of sphalerite, galena and pyrite.
The Silvia Vein, located subparallel to and approximately 50m to the south of the Soledad Vein, has now been intersected in an underground crosscut with rib channel samples averaging 292 g/t Ag, 0.26 g/t Au, 7.98% Pb, 5.05% Zn and 1.86% Cu over a vein width of 2.49m. Underground exploration and development of the Soledad and Silvia veins is continuing for delineation of potential resources and to prepare the veins for production. Mining in both veins will use selective narrow vein mining methods.
