Montero Mining advances Elvira gold drill targets - ICYMI

Montero Mining and Exploration Ltd (TSX-V:MON, OTC:MXTRF) earlier this week outlined advancement astatine the Elvira Gold Project successful Chile, wherever ongoing exploration has identified high-priority people areas up of a planned drilling campaign.

The company’s main enforcement Tony Harwood said the project, which was secured nether an enactment statement successful October, has a agelong exploration past but has not antecedently been afloat understood.

He noted that contempt implicit 30 years of intermittent enactment by assorted operators, the beingness of a ample aboveground alteration strategy had not been adequately explained.

Harwood explained that earlier drilling campaigns delivered immoderate encouraging results but were mostly shallow and based connected outdated exploration models. He added that Montero Mining is taking a much modern, integrated attack by combining humanities datasets with caller geological, geophysical and distant sensing work.

According to Harwood, the institution has completed elaborate geological mapping and geophysical surveys, including induced polarization (IP) resistivity and magnetics, alongside distant sensing to amended recognize structural controls and alteration patterns.

The institution is besides leveraging artificial quality and instrumentality learning to process humanities and recently acquired datasets.

He said the enactment has led to the recognition of a ample hydrothermal system, which the institution interprets arsenic a imaginable gold-bearing strategy wrong a broader district-scale environment. Harwood described it arsenic “a ample hydrothermal… golden system, wrong a territory standard of a precocious sulphide system,” highlighting the standard imaginable of the discovery.

While respective precedence exploration zones person already been outlined, Harwood emphasised that ongoing geochemical investigation volition beryllium cardinal to refining these targets. He stated that erstwhile each datasets are integrated, the institution volition specify last drill locations.

Looking ahead, Montero Mining intends to people some near-surface and deeper mineralisation, perchance wrong an epithermal oregon porphyry golden system. Harwood noted that cautious pre-drilling enactment is essential, peculiarly fixed the precocious costs associated with drilling, and is expected to amended the probability of success.

The upcoming catalysts for the institution see the merchandise of elaborate geochemical results and the finalisation of drill targets, which could acceptable the signifier for a focused drilling programme aimed astatine unlocking the project's afloat potential.
