Vancouver — The latest drill results from the Tambor gold property in Guatemala continue to return only low-grade values for junior Radius Explorations.
Part of a 2,500-metre combined diamond and reverse-circulation drill program over the promising project, two holes into the Bridge zone intersected anomalous values in the volcanic ash cover.
Hole 1 then hit the favourable carbonaceous phyllite unit but returned values of only 0.56 gram gold per tonne.
Collared 100 metres to the northwest, hole 2 failed to intersect the promising unit.
Drilling continues. The rig is slated to test the ground immediately east and north of hole 1.
Radius also aims to test the mineralization under previous trenching which yielded 3.15 grams gold over 75 metres.
The Bridge zone marks the third of five target areas defined for drilling.
Earlier, five of the eight holes drilled into the Sastre zone yielded narrow zones of low-grade mineralization occurring in a flat-lying zone in amphibolite hosted wall rock. Only three of the holes managed to return grades higher than 1 gram gold per tonne.
Hole 2 returned 1.3 grams gold per tonne over 3.1 metres from 33.5 metres down-hole.
Hole 3 yielded 1.49 grams gold over 6.1 metres from 18.3 metres down-hole.
Hole 5 cut 1.3 grams gold over 1.5 metres from 10.7 metres down-hole.
The best grades so far have come from the Lupita zone, some 4 km to the east, where holes returned from 1 to 2.2 grams gold. Mineralization occurs as sulphides in the carbonaceous phyllite unit.
Over the past year, Radius has assessed the grade and geometry of five known gold zones in a 6-km-long gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly. They are Sastre, Bridge, Lupita, Valery and TBS.
