Tyler drilling expands Bahuerachi Main Zone

Drilling on the Main Zone at the Bahuerachi copper deposit in Chihuahua state, Mexico, has intersected more mineralization outside the known resource envelope.

Tyler Resources (TYS-V) drilled seven holes and deepened three others in the recent round of drilling, most on the western fringe of the Main Zone. Those holes intersected copper mineralization grading mainly around 0.5%, with credits in gold, silver, zinc and molybdenum.

There were a number of wide intervals in the drill holes, including a 158.4-metre intersection that ran 0.74% copper, 0.46% zinc, 0.02% molybdenum, 0.04 gram gold and 5 grams silver per tonne, and a 176.6-metre intersection averaging 0.61% copper, 0.13% zinc, 0.02% molybdenum, 0.04 gram gold and 4 grams silver per tonne.

Bahuerachi has an indicated resource of 135 million tonnes at 0.49% copper, 0.08% zinc, 0.01% molybdenum, 0.05 gram gold and 4.3 grams silver per tonne, with another 134 million tonnes inferred at 0.36% copper, 0.02% zinc, 0.005% molybdenum, 0.03 gram gold and 2.1 grams silver per tonne.
