Francisco plans drilling at Dura

Geophysical work at La Dura, a gold property in Mexico’s Sonora state, has set the stage for reverse-circulation drilling.

Francisco Gold (VSE) says an induced-polarization survey identified an area that coincides with a soil geochemical anomaly centring on three mineralized showings: La Dura, La India and Zaragoza.

Channel sampling of underground workings at La Dura zone returned 200 ft. of 0.14 oz. gold per ton, while surface sampling returned 115 ft. of 0.079 oz., 50 ft. of 0.093 oz. and 33 ft. of 0.16 oz.

La India zone reported 128 ft. of surface channel samples grading 0.27 oz., with similar work at Zaragoza returning 23 ft. of 0.074 oz. as well as 6.6 ft. of 0.44 oz.

Francisco is seeking to joint-venture the project.

Elsewhere in Mexico, the company has decided to drop its option on El Sultan, a property in Zacatecas state.
