Avino
Drills 1.50 metres, 1,511.8 g/t
silver, 15.77 g/t gold at San
Gonzalo
Avino Silver and Gold Mines Ltd. has added a second core
drill to its program at the large Avino property located 80kms north east of
Durango,
Mexico.
The first drill continues to explore the San Gonzalo zone.
It is currently drilling Hole 31 at that zone.
The second drill started at the beginning of the month and
has currently completed two holes on the ET zone on the main Avino Vein. This
is the zone on the main Avino Vein from which the company mined 1975-2001.
A program of 11 holes are planned to explore the ET zone
below the 11� level where production ceased in Nov 2001.
Avino is pleased to announce results of a further four holes
at San Gonzalo (20 through 23). (Locations can be viewed on the Avino website).
SG-07-20 (Bearing
215 Dip 66 Length 247.40m)
This hole is to the
north
west of the main San Gonzalo structure. It
intersected several side veins, some of which contained high gold and silver
values but none correlate with the San Gonzalo main vein.
