Luminex Commences Drilling at the Condor Camp Zone After Promising Surface Sampling

02.05.2019  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, May 02, 2019 - Luminex Resources Corp. (TSXV: LR) (US OTC: LUMIF) (the “Company” or “Luminex”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced a 1,200-metre diamond drilling program at the Camp Zone in the northern area of its Condor Project. The Camp Zone is located proximal to Condor’s existing epithermal gold and silver resources at Los Cuyes, Soledad and Enma.

Planned Camp Zone Drilling


The Camp Zone comprises a recently identified rock and soil gold-silver anomaly situated below the ridge upon which the current camp and core storage facility are built. The coherent anomaly extends for 400 x 200 metres and averages 0.6 grams/tonne (g/t) gold and 6 g/t silver based on over 600 rock chip and channel samples. Gold is interpreted to be hosted in intermediate sulphidation epithermal veins within volcanic and underlying batholith lithologies and may form an extension of the existing resource defined at Los Cuyes. The mineralized zone contains artisanal mine workings. Surface chip samples assayed as high as 47.5 g/t gold, 154 g/t silver, 23% zinc and 0.23% copper. Luminex plans on drilling approximately 1,200 metres from four holes below the axis of the soil anomaly to test the subsurface grades. Given its proximity to the Company’s Condor exploration base, the drill program requires minimal access infrastructure and logistical support, which is expected to result in lower costs and efficient execution.
