GR Silver Mining's Phase II Underground Sampling Highlights
GR Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV: GRSL) is excited to share substantial advancements in Phase II of its Bulk Sample Test Mining Program at the Plomosas Mine. This initiative aims to investigate various underground areas previously untouched by extensive exploration. The company has set several critical goals to achieve throughout this program, focusing on resource assessment and future processing opportunities.
Objectives of the Bulk Sample Test Mining Program
The Bulk Sample Test Mining Program includes key objectives designed to enhance understanding and utilization of the resources at Plomosas Mine:
Delineation of Accessible Areas
The company aims to define and map new accessible underground areas in the historical operations of the Plomosas Mine. This mapping effort is critical for efficient planning and resource management.
Identification of High-Grade Mineralized Material
GR Silver Mining has also focused on locating previously blasted, high-grade mineralized material accessible for future processing. Preliminary results from sampling across 21 underground areas have indicated promising mineralized materials.
Metallurgical Test Work
The project gathers representative samples to confirm recovery rates forecasted by earlier test work and to set forth process design criteria necessary for refining preliminary flow sheets and technical specifications for future mining solutions.
Progress in Underground Sampling
The underground sampling initiative is ongoing to improve reconciliation with the most recent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate, permitting GR Silver Mining to tailor its operations according to informed data.
Initial Findings from Channel Sampling
Early results from the underground channel sampling have been promising, with some significant highlights emerging:
Channel Results from Level 975
- 6.7 m at 1,040 g/t AgEq, comprised of 903 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, 1.4% Pb, and 1.7% Zn.
- 1.2 m at 2,365 g/t AgEq, with values of 2,264 g/t Ag, 0.08 g/t Au, 0.5% Pb, and 0.9% Zn.
Channel Results from Ramp 3
- 4.2 m at 1,018 g/t AgEq, including 49 g/t Ag, 5.12 g/t Au, 6.9% Pb, and 5.9% Zn.
- Within this, 0.5 m was noted at 2,256 g/t AgEq consisting of 102 g/t Ag, 35.7 g/t Au, 4.3% Pb, and 14.2% Zn.
Company Insights on Progress
Marcio Fonseca, President and CEO of GR Silver Mining, highlighted that the ongoing channel sampling is crucial for identifying accessible high-grade mineralized zones, which are essential for future bulk sampling endeavors. This new data supports the company's goal to advance the planned BSTM at Plomosas during its next phases.
Engineering and Evaluation Enhancements
The company has successfully conducted a comprehensive laser survey covering over 7.4 km of the underground area, which has tremendous implications for future operations. Preliminary assessments of previously blasted mineralized material suggest a strong potential for integration into the ongoing Bulk Sampling Test Mining Program.
Future Developments at the Plomosas Project
Building on its initial success, GR Silver Mining plans to advance its exploration of high-grade silver zones while evaluating nearby opportunities, including existing facilities, to integrate into the BSTM framework.
Leadership Updates
An important management transition has occurred within the company. Mr. Alejandro Cano has resigned, and the firm is reviewing candidates for this position, indicating a commitment to continue strengthening operations.
