Concordia Receives Significant Silver Results From Confirmation Channel Sampling at Its Providencia Property in Argentina
July 19 2011 - 8:30AM
Marketwired
Concordia Resource Corp (TSX VENTURE: CCN) ("the Company") is
pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Meryllion
Minerals Corporation ("Meryllion"), has received results from
confirmation sampling undertaken during the recently completed
exploration campaign at its Providencia Ag-Cu prospect in
northwestern Argentina.
The property hosts Ag-Cu mineralization, and produced some five
million ounces of silver between 1986 and 1997 from ore grading
between 400-500 g/t Ag. Mineralization is hosted by a gently
dipping, poorly consolidated, green conglomerate unit floored and
capped by dark red mudstones and white sandstones respectively. The
conglomerate unit was the primary target of previous mining, and
four shallow open pits were developed - the North, Central, South,
and West Pits. Mineralization is open along strike to both the
north and south, as well as down-dip to the east within the gently
dipping conglomerate unit.
The results received from the channel sampling range up to 4160
g/t Ag and 3.62% Cu (see table below), and the average unweighted
values for channel samples collected from the Green Conglomerate
Member are 657 g/t Ag and 0.66% Cu. By comparison, the previous
channel sampling of the old workings by Cardero in 2003 returned
values ranging up to 4064 g/t Ag and 3.97% Cu, and the average
unweighted values from the Green Conglomerate Member were 506 g/t
Ag and 0.46% Cu.
