Hebron to drill Torrecillas

Underground work by Hebron Fjord (HEF-M) has enlarged a gold-bearing breccia at its Torrecillas mine property in Peru.

Channel sampling along a 24-metre drift at the end of a newly excavated ramp returned 16 samples with grades ranging from 15.47 grams to 144.19 grams gold per tonne. The work also increased thickness of the vein to between 0.65 and 2.4 metres. Samples taken from the hangingwall and footwall yielded anomalous gold values.

The underground work was finished about the same time an airborne geophysical survey was completed. Magnetic, electromagnetic and resistivity programs were recently completed in advance of an 8-hole drill program.

At least one of the holes will deepen No. 6, drilled near the mine in the spring. The hole intersected the hangingwall of the downdip extension of the breccia and is believed to be its mineralized halo.

Other targets have yet to be chosen.
