Mantaro (MNTR) has completed four diamond drill holes at its Golden Hill Property in Bolivia.

Exploration has focused on the La Escarcha gold deposit with 720 out of 5,000 m drilled thus far.

Drilling successfully intercepted down-dip extensions of five primary gold-bearing quartz shear zones – historically exploited via surface open pit and underground workings – at La Escarcha Mine to 150 m beneath surface.

The company expects assays in approximately six weeks.

Mineralization is open in all directions with the next phase of drilling to target the system’s southern and northern strike extensions beneath areas with historic surface workings.

Drilling will then test gold mineralization across the parallel vein swarm directly west of La Escarcha at the Westfield Prospect.

CEO Craig Hairfield sat down with Daniella Atkinson to comment on the ongoing drill program.

Mantaro Precious Metals holds a diversified portfolio of gold and silver properties in Bolivia and Peru.

Mantaro (MNTR) opened trading at C$0.12 per share.
