Golden Arrow's Don Bosco Copper-Gold Project totals over 32,800ha (30km x 10km) of exploration licenses covering five distinct target areas in western La Rioja Province, Argentina. Highlights from prospecting include a 2.4m composite rock chip sample that averaged 2.04 g/t Au, 114 ppm Ag and 10.0% copper.
Geology and Mineralization
The Don Bosco Project includes historical copper and gold prospects and newly-discovered high-grade mineralized zones identified by the Company's reconnaissance team. Golden Arrow has completed several prospecting/sampling campaigns on Don Bosco to date. In total 187 reconnaissance rock chip samples have been collected from three distinct target areas: El Pircarda copper-gold skarn; Llantenes copper zone; and, the Las Minitas silver zone.
Highlights for each zone include:
- El Pircarda Zone
- 2.4m averaging 2.04 g/t Au, 114 ppm Ag and 10.0% copper
- Llantenes Zone
- 25% Cu, 0.64 g/t Au, 82 g/t Ag (grab sample)
- 2m grading 3.3% Cu (chip sample)
- Las Minitas Silver Zone
- 111 g/t Ag over 1m (chip sample)
Access
The Don Bosco property is located in the Pre-Cordillera region and elevations range from 2,500m to 3,500m above sea level. Work can be conducted all year round and a paved highway allows easy access to the southern part of the property. Golden Arrow has established a field camp and commenced intensive sampling and mapping surveys on the property.
Exploration Plans
Initial work will be focused on delineating the grade and dimensions of mineralized zones, and on discovering new prospects, with the aim of defining priority drill targets.
