Americore Resources (TSX-V:AMCO) has confirmed ‘high-grade’ silver mineralisation at its Trinity Silver Project in Nevada, US, with assays up to 509 grams per tonne silver (Ag) from historical drill core.
The company completed confirmatory sampling of selected intervals from Renaissance Gold’s 2006 drilling program as a step toward an updated mineral resource estimate (MRE) and NI 43‑101 Technical Report.
Three samples were collected from 1.5m intervals of historic core.
Sample 158853 from drill hole TSD‑002 returned 287g/t Ag by fire assay and 301g/t Ag by ICP‑AES, compared with the original assay of 161g/t. Sample 158852 from TSD‑009 returned 477g/t Ag by fire assay and 509g/t by ICP‑AES, compared with the original 466g/t.
The analyses also confirmed polymetallic mineralisation, including 0.795% lead and 1.565% zinc in sample 158853.
CEO Justin Hanka says each of the three core samples returned silver values that met or exceeded historical assays.
“Each of the three core samples returned silver values that met or exceeded its corresponding historical assay, including up to 509 g/t Ag from TSD-009 and 301 g/t Ag from TSD-002. These results provide additional confidence as we move toward the next phase of technical work at Trinity,” Hanka notes.
Americore intends to appoint a qualified technical contractor to complete an updated MRE and NI 43‑101 Technical Report during the December quarter.
The Trinity Silver Project is located in Pershing County, Nevada.
Americore Resources, formerly K9 Gold, is a Canadian explorer with a portfolio spanning gold, silver, vanadium, lithium, and uranium assets across Canada and the US.
