Development highlights at the Zgounder Mine

During the month of May 2017, underground exploration and development consisted of 1,194 metres of percussion drilling in four mine workings. Highlights of the work completed are:

  • On Level 2100 W, percussion drilling encountered Panel 1 at the contact of the doleritic dyke and the Neoproterozoic metasedimentary sequence and at the intersection of silver-bearing mineralized structures respectively oriented EW and NS. The mineralization consists of disseminated sulphides (sphalerite, galena and pyrite) accompanied by native silver in fractures and quartz veinlets. The percussion drilling has verified the continuity of the mineralization.

  • Panels 5Y and 6Y located east of bodies 1Y-2Y-3Y at the contact of the doleritic dyke and the metasedimentary sequence display strong alteration defined by chloritization and sericitization and are affected by intense fracturing. Panels 5Y and 6Y consists of schistosed sandstones in which the mineralization is represented by disseminated sulphides (sphalerite, galena and pyrite) and abundant plates of native silver present in fractures. Percussion drilling will determine the shape of panels 5Y and 6Y.

  • Percussion drilling determined the extension of silver mineralization form panels 2030 N01 and NW10 (North Zone).
