Corner Bay plans program

Corner Bay Minerals (BAY-T) is set to carry out reverse-circulation drilling on the Alamo Dorado silver-gold property in Sonora state, Mexico.

The program is designed to follow-up on results obtained from geological mapping, surface sampling and trenching that Corner Bay believes indicate good potential for a deposit that would be minable by open-pit methods.

Recent sampling results include: 0.64 gram gold and 5.68 grams silver per tonne over 39 metres; 0.54 gram gold and 6.69 grams silver over 61 metres; 0.59 gram gold and 55.82 grams silver over 92.5 metres; 0.35 gram gold and 44.72 grams silver over 78.5 metres; 0.77 gram gold and 171.2 grams silver over 71 metres; and 0.74 gram gold and 64.27 grams silver along 57 metres.

The deposit is thought to be a wide shear zone with disseminated gold and silver throughout; the mineralization is structurally controlled along the eastern contact of a granodiorite intrusive.
