Endomines reported results from a six-hole underground exploration drilling program carried out at the end of 2021. The 1609m drill program aimed at testing underground exploration targets north and east of the Pampalo main mineralization at the 700m level. The best intersection returned 6m @ 4.1g/t Au, including 1m @ 21.6 g/t Au and 2.7m @ 7.1g/t Au in hole T1616. Another good interval, returning 6m @ 1.3g/t Au was intersected in the so-called D-zone, an area approximately 70m to the north of the current mining area. The company notes that more exploration drilling is required to better define this mineralized lens.
In addition, a new 4000m drill program targeting the depth extension of the Pampalo deposit was commenced on April 6th and is estimated to be completed in June 2022.
