Azure cock-a-hoop with Alacran results

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Azure Minerals (ASX: AZS) stood up in its toes to announce it had received “exceptional results” from an ongoing sampling program being carried out on the company’s Alacrán project, located in the northern Mexican state of Sonora.

Highlights from the results include channel sampling of La Morita underground mineralised zones returns of:

17 metres at 4.3 per cent copper (includes 2.5m at 20.5 per cent copper; 2.2m at 2.7 per cent copper & 1.5m at 3.1per cent copper); and

117m at 0.33 per cent copper.

Azure also completed surface sampling at several new areas, which returned – what it described as – “bonanza” silver grades plus high-grades in other metals.

“While the IP and soil sampling surveys are in progress at La Morita and San Simon, we’ve continued our exploration activities across the wider

Alacrán property,” Azure Minerals managing director Tony Rovira said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“Results continue to exceed our expectations, with several new areas returning strong precious and base metal mineralisation which we are following up.

“Specifically, at the Mesa de Plata prospect, which is located nearby to San Simon, we’ve discovered an extensive new zone of high-grade silver mineralisation at surface, where almost every sample returned silver grades in the 30 grams per tonne to 100 grams per tonne range, and even up to 213 grams per tonne.

“In addition, high silver, copper, lead and zinc assays, including bonanza silver grades, have been returned from sampling around newly identified, artisanal mine workings in the north and east of the Alacrán project area.

“La Morita, San Simon, Mesa de Plata and Palo Seco are all exciting drill targets.

“We will start drilling there as soon as all the necessary approvals are received, which are expected in July.”
