SILVERMEX INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE GOLD AT LA GUITARRA-306.99 G/T AU AND 1,033.60 G/T AG OR 18,225 G/T SILVER EQUIVALENT OVER 1.45 METERS
Silvermex Resources Inc. has released further underground drill results from five drill holes at its producing La Guitarra property located in the Temascaltepec mining district in the state of Mexico.
These latest drill results demonstrate the presence of a significant new ore extension on the main La Guitarra vein and have returned assays with bonanza grades of gold and silver, while the Doncellas vein in the hangingwall of the La Guitarra vein continues to return significant mineralization. Drilling has demonstrated the potential extension of the ore shoot 150 metres in depth and 100 metres in strike with the ore shoot still open to the northwest and at depth.
The diamond drill holes all intersected high-grade gold and silver, with the most prominent being drill hole LGS-57 where it intersected 147.473 grams per tonne gold and 607.703 grams per tonne silver over 3.2 metres. This includes a 1.45-metre interval of 306.99 grams per tonne gold and 1,033.60 grams per tonne silver. This translates to a silver-equivalent grade of 18,225.040 grams per tonne.
Other notable intersections include drill hole LGS-56 where it intersected 5.35 metres of 18.059 grams per tonne gold and 67.694 grams per tonne silver. This includes a 1.25-metre interval of 55.422 grams per tonne gold and 158.036 grams per tonne silver. This translates to a silver-equivalent grade of 3,261.683 grams per tonne.

These intercepts are located between elevations of 1,700 metres and 1,600 metres. This drilling has demonstrated the potential extension of the ore shoot 150 metres in depth and 100 metres in strike with the ore shoot still open to the northwest and at depth. This indicates that significant mineralization extends below the deepest recorded mining on the La Guitarra vein.
Duane Nelson, chief executive officer of Silvermex, reported: "We are very pleased with the bonanza-type intercepts we are seeing in this new section of the mine. Never before have we seen gold grades over 300 grams per tonne over such wide strike lengths and depths like this. We have already started to modify our mine plan to focus on developing this area. We are confident we can access the upper portion of the high-grade orebody by the third quarter of this year."
Sampling of the drill core was overseen by one of the La Guitarra geologists who marked off the drill core at appropriate intervals based upon the geology and mineralization present. Sample intervals normally vary from 0.2 metre to one metre in length. No sample exceeded 1.5 metres in overall length. All core samples were sent to Inspectorate Labs sample preparation in Durango, Durango, Mexico. Assays for gold were done by one-assay-tonne fire assay (AA finish) and four-acid ICP-AES for silver and other elements. Gold assays that exceed five grams per tonne by AA are redone using a gravimetric finish. Silver assays in excess of 100 grams per tonne are redone using fire assay gravimetric. Four-acid ICP analyses were conducted at the main laboratory of Inspectorate in Reno, Nev. Certified standards, blanks and duplicate samples were inserted in every batch of 20 samples sent to the laboratory.
