Tertiary Minerals plc announced that results from recent surface sampling and mapping continued to return high grades at its Pyramid silver-gold project in Nevada, USA.
RESULTS
The company collected most of the new samples over a wide area along the recently established zone of silver mineralisation at North Ruth which has a strike length of at least 530 metres.
Analytical results reported the highest silver grade to date at the target with significant silver mineralisation in 34 of 37 samples (grading a minimum of 15 g/t silver).
Four high-grade samples reported silver grades of 1,286 g/t, 889 g/t, 522 g/t and 513
g/t (grading a minimum of 200 g/t silver).
Also included are four samples reporting gold grades of 2.72 g/t, 1.67 g/t, 1.30 g/t and 1.20 g/t.
Mapping and sampling will provide key input to modelling and design of a drill programme.
DATASET
Managing director Patrick Cullen described the results as very encouraging.
“While silver is the primary target, it is also excellent to see the presence of reportable gold grades.
“We have steadily built our dataset and our understanding of the North Ruth target over a
series of work programmes.
“This has allowed us to identify mineralised structures with increasing confidence, as reflected in these results.”
