Prospero Silver Discusses Results to Date of Campana Project Drill Program
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/04/12 -- Prospero Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE: PSL) ("Prospero" or the "Company") announced today the results of an 870m diamond drill program at its Campana project in central Durango State, Mexico. Holes CAM-11-01 and CAM-11-02 focussed to the east and north of historic drilling (2007) that showed disseminated gold and silver mineralization over intersections up to 330m in length. The two-hole program, just finished, tested a zone characterized by chargeability and resistivity highs (Figure 1) as outlined by Z-TEM and IP surveys conducted earlier this year (refer to news releases of July 13, 2011 and August 29, 2011).
The review of this Phase 1 geophysical program highlights the importance of an extensive ground-based magnetic survey completed by the Company in 2009 (Figures 1 and 2). A two-pronged horn-shaped pattern of low magnetism occurs north and east of where holes CAM-11-01 and CAM-11-02 were drilled. The low magnetic responses reflect destruction of magnetic minerals and the possible presence of stronger hydrothermalism and mineralization. Results from CAM-11-01 and CAM-11-02 combined with the information gained from the ground-based magnetic survey direct further exploration to three target areas:
In summary, the detailed magnetic survey indicates zones of strong hydrothermalism could be located peripheral and to the north and east of the diorite porphyry intrusion encountered in holes CAM-11-01 and CAM-11-02. Additionally, mineralized Cretaceous sediments intersected in historic hole CAM-12 (60.8 meters with 0.223 ppm Au) occur at shallower depth to the north and could be located closer to the surface in the northern areas of low magnetic response.
"The information gained from the new holes drilled at Campana 1 and from the historic holes enable us to better understand the ground Mag data for the project," said Tawn Albinson, President of Prospero Silver. "The ground Mag data will be a very important tool in guiding our drilling programs at Campana going forward," he added.
A phase 2 drill program of 4,000m is required to test the target zones defined to date by the drilling and geophysical surveys.
