Dorex Minerals Inc has reported that the Phase 1 diamond drilling has been completed on its 100% owned Carmelita property located within the IOCG belt of the Atacama Desert, Chile.
This exploratory drill program was designed to test for widespread porphyry or IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) style mineralization as well as a smaller, higher grade structurally controlled shear zone hosted copper oxide mineralization.
Peter Walton, President and CEO, said we are pleased with the completion of the Phase 1 exploratory drilling on the company’s Carmelita project.
The professionals that worked on the property did an excellent job with meeting deadlines and schedules, added Mr. Walton.
We are all looking forward to the quick return of the assay results. The geological team and management are preparing for further exploration on the Carmelita property, and as well are examining other properties in the region. Assay results will be announced as soon they are received by the company, said Mr. Walton.
A total of seven holes for a total of 996.8 meters were drilled on the property testing 5 different anomalous zones.
167.8 meters were drilled utilizing a HQ size drill core and 830.6 meters utilized a NQ size drill core.
A total of 375 core samples were logged, split and sent for assaying and will be tested for total copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, zinc and lead content.
All samples were collected in accordance with industry standards. Splits from the drill core samples were submitted to Act Labs Chile SA, in La Serena, Chile.
