Azure reports enouraging Los Chinos results

Azure Minerals, the Australian-based miner, has reported highly encouraging assay results from its Los Chinos project in Sonora, Mexico.

Results for nine of the 12 holes so far drilled on the property are available and all have been successful, intersecting zinc and lead mineralisation over significant widths.

In addition, both silver and gold mineralisation is present with the base metal mineralisation, occasionally in very high grades.

Tony Rovira, Azure’s executive chairman, says: “We have discovered extensive zinc mineralisation at Los Chinos with wide intercepts and significantly, some very high grades, and strong lead, silver, gold and copper credits are also present. For example, the highest assays over one metre are 14.2% zinc, 7.9% lead, 528 g/t silver, 4.2 g/t gold and 1.6% copper.”

Mr Rovira adds: “With numerous mineralised horizons, this is obviously an extensive system with the potential to host significant deposits of high grade primary sulphide mineralisation. After we have interpreted these drill results, and finalised the analysis and modelling of the geophysical survey just completed, we will launch a second phase drill program at Los Chinos.”
