West Timmins updates La Dura discovery

West Timmins updates La Dura discovery

West Timmins Mining Inc. announced that drill testing in the La Dura West area of its 100% owned Montana de Oro Project in Sonora, Mexico has intersected additional zones of copper-gold-silver mineralization. These feature an intercept of 12.30 metres grading 0.94% copper, 2.07 g/t gold and 65.12 g/t silver, which includes 1.55 metres grading 0.13% copper, 8.43 g/t gold and 50.10 g/t silver, located less than 100 metres south of the La Dura West Polymetallic discovery.

The latest results from the La Dura area are consistent with the Company’s exploration model which relates the La Dura East lead-zinc-silver, La Dura West Polymetallic and proximal copper-gold-silver discoveries to a large, classically zoned intrusive hosted copper-gold system.

With the peripheral lead-zinc-silver dominated elements of this system exhibiting a strike length of at least 3000 metres and the grade/thickness of a number of recent copper-gold intercepts all indications are that we are progressing toward the centre of large copper-gold system, said Darin Wagner, President and CEO of West Timmins Mining. Based on the available geological information the centre of this system lays to the west of our drilling to date, across the placer gold-bearing Baboyahui River.

A series of recently completed drill holes, collared up to 600 metres west of previous drilling, provide additional support for the current exploration model. These holes exhibit westward increases in alteration intensity, disseminated copper sulphide mineralization and in the thickness of the mineralized intercepts.
