Vancouver, B.C. – March 17, 2020: San Marco Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SMN) (“San Marco” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling at its 100% optioned gold/silver/zinc Buck property in north central B.C.
Highlights of the fully-funded Phase I drill program include:
- Up to 2,000 metres of HQ diamond drilling
- Investigate potential depth extensions of known mineralized zones
- Step-out drilling in areas of potential new discoveries
- Confirm bulk tonnage potential as well as zones of high grade mineralization
Since very little drill core from historical drilling is available for review, this initial drill program will provide fresh drill core for detailed logging and support of what appears to be a large, highly altered gold/silver/zinc breccia system.
San Marco’s Vice President of Technical Services, Sharyn Alexander, commented “We are very excited to begin drilling at our Buck property. We have a strong technical team with years of combined experience, and we are eager to test some very interesting targets outlined during our data compilation and review. Data to date indicates the Buck property hosts large areas of surface and near surface mineralization and it is anticipated that the current drilling will confirm this and give indications of depth potential.”
The Buck property is thought to be structurally complex, such that the Company has retained Chris Gallagher of Rogue Geoscience, who specializes in 3D geologic and structural modeling, oriented core procedures and integration of field portable analyzers. The drill program is being conducted under the supervision of Coast Mountain Geological Ltd, mineral exploration consultants, of Vancouver B.C. Local operator J.T. Thomas of Smithers, B.C., is carrying out the drilling.
