About Pampa Paciencia

Pampa Paciencia is a 3,840-hectare, road-access, low-sulphidation epithermal (LSE) gold-silver project located within an active mining district less than 15 kilometres from two major mines (Sierra Gorda and Spence) and five kilometres from the Faride LSE mine.

Astra has completed drilling, mapping and sampling, geophysical surveys and localized trenching at the Pampa Paciencia project and, in doing so, has defined a vein boulder field over approximately 75 per cent of the project area. The veins do not outcrop, as the majority of the project area is covered by a thin layer of gravels and caliche, but the vein float can be used to identify areas of high prospectively. To date, Astra has defined over two kilometres of thick vein structure averaging 10 to 15 metres estimated true thickness which hosts three zones of high-grade gold mineralization.
