A 7,000-ft, 20-hole program of diamond drilling is under way on the Opoteca gold-silver concession in central Honduras.
The owner, VenCan Gold (VCG-T), recently completed a $70,000 program of geochemical work, mapping, gridding and geophysics and is in the process of improving an access road to the 3,600-ha concession.
In the 1600s, the property hosted the largest silver mine ever to be hand-worked by colonial Spaniards.
The junior has filed for six more gold, silver and copper exploration concessions, in southeastern Honduras. Comprising 39,000 ha, the concessions lie in the same geological trend as Greenstone Resources’ San Andres deposit, where minable reserves are estimated at 18.3 million tonnes averaging 1.44 grams gold per ton.
