Aftermath Silver (AAG) announced field work is now underway at its Challacollo Silver-Gold Project in northern Chile.
Crews are now cutting and sampling 32-hundred metres of previously unsampled historic core.
The company is testing material outside of the high-grade structures that formed the Mineral Resource Estimate performed in December, 2020.
The company also plans to undertake preliminary metallurgical leach test work on composites from the sampling program.
The results will provide data to “investigate the potential to bulk mine and potentially heap leach the lower grade material at Challacollo, and conceptually, separately processing the high-grade structures through an agitated leach flow sheet,” according to Aftermath.
“Following the highly successful resource estimate which added tremendous value to Challacollo, the next phase of our concept for the project is to test the hangingwall sequence where historically only visible structures were sampled. This sampling program is an important next step in our exploration and engineering efforts at Challacollo. If successful, the program will help further refine the objectives of the planned drilling at Challacollo,” said Aftermath President and CEO Ralph Rushton.
The company has an option to acquire a 100 per cent interest in the Challacollo Silver-Gold Project through a binding agreement with Mandalay Resources.
Aftermath Silver is a Canadian junior exploration company focused on silver, and the discovery, acquisition and development of quality silver projects in stable jurisdictions.
Aftermath Silver is down 2.40 per cent on the day, with shares trading at C$1.22 at 12:23 p.m. EST.
