Tertiary Minerals plc said it expected to start drilling during March at its Pyramid silver-gold project in Nevada, USA.
PROGRAMME
The company has awarded the drill contract to Envirotech Drilling LLC to conduct reverse circulation (RC) drilling. Construction of the drill pad and site access is complete.
Surface mineralisation extends over a strike extent of at least 530 metres at the North Ruth target.
Tertiary said that intersections in exploration trenches are as high as 595 g/t silver (17.35 ounces/ton) and 0.66 g/t gold.
The drill programme aims to establish the continuity of the silver and gold mineralisation at depth and will comprise six holes for an estimated 4,000 feet of RC drilling.
Envirotech will mobilise and start drilling during the second week of March 2022.
SCHEDULE
Tertiary managing director Patrick Cullen added that drilling would start according to the schedule.
“The progression of geological mapping, geochemical and trenching programmes completed
to date at Pyramid have established an exciting silver and gold target at North Ruth.
“Nevada is a top-rated mining jurisdiction globally, with high levels of activity across exploration and mining projects, and this is reflected by the demand for contractors locally.”
