Seahawk finds emeralds at property in Brazil

Seahawk Minerals (SKM-V) reports that preliminary drilling at the Piteiras property in Brazil’s Minas Gerais state has encountered emeralds.

Two of four holes drilled into high-grade metamorphic rocks hit ultramafic phlogopite schist, which hosts emerald mineralization.

Hole 3 hit a 28.75-metre zone of phlogopite schist containing several strongly coloured emeralds, whereas hole 4 cut 15.8 metres of schist.

The schist is intruded by quartz and pegmatite veins along a strongly sheared contact with an underlying granitic intrusive.

Seahawk has correlated this ultramafic schist with a strong chromium-nickel anomaly found by previous auger sampling. The anomaly measures 550 metres by 1,100 metres.

Drill crews are testing the continuity of the emerald mineralization.
