ABRAPLATA RECEIVES HIGHLY ACCURATE SATELLITE SURVEYING OF ITS DIABLILLOS PROPERTY IN NORTHWESTERN ARGENTINA

PhotoSat has completed satellite surveying of the silver-gold Diablillos project in the Salta province and delivered all the data to Abraplata Resource Corp. The surveying was carried out using stereo photos from the high-resolution DigitalGlobe WorldView-3 imaging satellite. The satellite survey consists of an elevation point every metre, contours with one-metre elevation intervals, and the review and verification of the survey co-ordinates of 245 drill holes on the property.

"We are pleased to have had access to the world's highest-quality image satellites and PhotoSat's cutting-edge satellite surveying technology to produce a high-quality base map for the Diablillos property," commented Abraplata's chairman, Hernan Zaballa. He added, "These data form the foundation for the ongoing preliminary economic assessment and will greatly assist in the compilation and interpretation of all past and current exploration data."

The PhotoSat survey was registered to the ground reference points collected by Abraplata. The survey elevations were converted to heights above the EGM2008 Geoid. Stereo WorldView-3 satellite photos were then taken on Sept. 12, 2017, and the data were processed by PhotoSat using its proprietary geophysical stereo satellite elevation system. PhotoSat produced surveyed elevation surfaces for the Diablillos property to an accuracy of 20 centimetres in elevation.
