Soho Resources Corp. is pleased
to report additional drill results from Tahuehueto and comments on
multiple events of mineralization.
Ongoing drilling at the Tahuehueto Project in
Durango State, Mexico continues to produce promising results. At the
El Creston Zone, Hole DDH07-113 encountered two separate well mineralized
zones with a first gold - silver intercept from 41.5 to 49.7 meters
returning 8.20 meters grading 16.22 g/t Au and 52.6 g/t Ag and a second
deeper zone, from 59.35 to 73.10 meters, returning 13.75 meters of 1.31
g/t Au and 59.9 g/t Ag with 0.71% Cu, 1.33% Pb and 2.69%
Zn.
Hole DDH07-111 located 100 meters northeast
along strike of DDH07-113 also cut an upper gold - silver zone from 70.15
to 75.70 meters for a 5.55 meter wide intersection grading 5.33 g/t Au and
122.9 g/t Ag. and a slightly deeper zone from 78.80 to 99.10 meters for an
intersected width of 20.30 meters grading 4.16 g/t Au, 62.7 g/t Ag, 0.52%
Cu, 3.96% Pb and 2.80% Zn.
Between DDH07-111 and DDH07-113 (approx 50
meters from each) a previously reported hole DDH06-037A, intercepted a
zone of precious metals from 19.51 meters to 29.26 meters for an intercept
of 9.75 meters grading 12.52 g/t Au and 126.3 g/t Ag. This hole also
intercepted a deeper zone of base metals from 31.09 meters to 37.19 meters
for a width of 6.10 meters grading 0.73 g/t Au, 39.8 g/t Ag, 0.64 % Cu,
1.94 % Pb and 2.55 % Zn. A third small zone of precious metals was
intercepted immediately below the base metals returning 2.89 meters from
37.19 meters to 40.08 meters of 8.65 g/t Au, 109.5 g/t Ag, 0.96 % Cu, 0.54
% Pb and 0.22 % Zn.
These intercepts are representative of both a
precious metals mineralizing event and a base metal mineralizing event at
Tahuehueto which are distinct from each other. Geologists are able to
distinguish mineralogical and textural differences between these events in
the core. The current interpretation is that the precious metals
event postdates the base metals event. The El Creston target is
strongly mineralized by both systems.
At the Cinco de Mayo Target hole DDH07-101
intercepted 14.65 meters grading 1.64 g/t Au and 268.28 g/t Ag. A
separate intercept in the same hole is mineralized with base metals
returning 13.75 meters grading 0.08 g/t Au, 34.5 g/t Ag and 1.20% Pb,
1.43% Zn. This is the first hole which indicates both events
separately at Cinco de Mayo.
These intercepts and the results from all
other analytical results from holes received since the last press release
are presented in the following table.
Drilling at Tahuehueto is currently split
between resource drilling on the El Creston target and at the Cinco de
Mayo target under the Cinco de Mayo southern most adit. Additional
exploration drilling is planned to be conducted in the 1.5 km area between
the El Creston target and Cinco de Mayo adit referred to above, to fill in
gaps in the drill spacing along this trend.
The majority of the effort over the next 45
days will be directed towards the El Creston Zone where the company has
been unable to establish road access and drill sites due to extreme
topography over approximately 300 meter of strike length within the area
of intersection of the El Creston Structure and the El Perdido
Structure. Some of the Company's best results have been obtained at
the edge of this, up to now inaccessible area. Within this extreme
topographic area the Company has established 10 helicopter drill pads in
order to complete the drilling required before calculating its initial
resource estimate. Drilling from these helicopter supported drill
sites is scheduled to start within the next several days utilizing a fly
capable drill rig sourced and purchased by Soho specifically for this fly
drill program.
The Company has completed the 18,000 meter
drill contract with Major Drilling and the drill contract was not renewed
with this drill contractor. Drilling is now being conducted by Tecmin
Servicios S.A. de C.V. of Zacatecas, Mexico using one drill rig. With
the Company's fly capable drill commencing drilling operations, there will
be two rigs operating on a continual basis at the site.
The current hole being drilled is hole
DDH07-125. Drill core samples for 11 holes, DDH07-114 through
DDH07-122, have been submitted to the lab for analysis.
Sample
location plans are available for viewing on the Company's web site
along with sampling and shipping procedures. Drill core and rock samples
are shipped from site to Inspectorate Labs' preparation facility in
Durango City, Mexico with pulps being shipped by Inspectorate Labs to
their analytical laboratory in Reno Nevada where final analysis is
conducted. Gold and silver are analyzed by Fire Assay. Copper,
Lead and Zinc are analyzed by aqua regia digestion and atomic absorption.
The Tahuehueto project is situated in
north-western Durango State, within the historic Sierra Madre mining
district, which hosts a number of producing gold, silver and base metal
mines, and many active exploration and development projects.
The exploration program is being conducted
under the direction of Hall Stewart, PGeo, a qualified geologist as
defined under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Ralph Shearing, President,
P.Geol, also a qualified geologist, authored this news release.
