Ecuadorian hits high grade at Beroen

Junior Ecuadorian Minerals (EMC-T) has intercepted high-grade gold-silver values at the Beroen project in southwestern Ecuador.

Results from the first four holes drilled on the Alejandra breccia encountered visible gold and ruby silver.

The second hole in the 21-hole program, which totalled 2,029 metres, intersected 35.2 metres of mineralized breccia grading 8.1 grams gold and 80 grams silver per tonne. The intercept began only 8 metres below the surface and included a 19.8-interval grading 12 grams gold and 103 grams silver.

Hole 5 also intercepted the breccia near the surface, encountering 16 metres grading 21.4 grams gold and 158 grams silver, including 6 metres of 37.5 grams gold and 275 grams silver.

These assays represent cut values; individual assays were capped at 50 grams gold and 300 grams silver per tonne.

At a depth of 32 metres, in the Elizabeth vein, drilling hit 1.2 metres of 11.7 grams gold and 136 grams silver.

Hole 7 cut the Elizabeth vein in a 1.1-metre interval, grading 5 grams gold and 43 grams silver at a depth of 16 metres.

The fourth hole intersected the breccia unit at a depth of 52 metres, encountering 32 metres of 2 grams gold and 16 grams silver. Included in the interval were 12.2 metres averaging 4.3 grams gold and 19 grams silver.

Ecuadorian also drilled the Dorada zone, 1 km south of the Alejandra zone, and expects to receive results from the remaining holes in the next few weeks. The drilling has focused on a large epithermal system, outlined by extensive mapping and sampling on the 338-sq. km the Beroen property.
