Introduction to Almadex's Newest Venture
Almadex Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: DEX) is thrilled to announce an exciting development in the exploration sector. The company has successfully acquired a 100% stake in the Rattlesnake exploration project. This endeavor is a significant step forward in Almadex's ongoing exploration efforts across the western United States. By utilizing staking techniques, Almadex has taken a proactive approach in securing this promising site.
The Rattlesnake Project Details
The Rattlesnake property showcases an extensive area characterized by unique geological features. It demonstrates both quartz alunite and argillic hydrothermal alterations, primarily found within andesite volcanic formations. The landscape includes striking modified dykes that run through the site, each presenting opportunities for further investigation. Early assessments indicate that the presence of stockwork veins bearing silver, lead, and zinc signifies the potential for a rich mineral deposit.
Encouraging Preliminary Results
Recent assays from 39 out of the 96 rock samples collected at the Rattlesnake property yield impressive results. Notably, one sample recorded an astonishing 326 g/t of silver along with 1.52% zinc. Additionally, 7 of the samples revealed copper levels exceeding 100 ppm, highlighting the potential for further exploration and development. With these positive initial findings, Almadex is poised to pursue more aggressive exploration strategies in the upcoming months.
Future Plans for Exploration
To capitalize on the preliminary success at the Rattlesnake site, Almadex's management plans to implement an extensive soil sampling and induced polarization (IP) geophysical program. This initiative aims to refine geological understandings and identify specific targets for drilling, shaping the future exploratory moves for the winter season.
