Palamina (PA) has returned 5.1 g/t gold over 4 m (surface) and 15.4 g/t gold over 2.7 m (underground).

The results stem from the second field program in the Sol de Oro Zone (SDO), completed in December 2022 at its Usicayos Gold Project in Peru.

The company has identified four mineralized gold systems at SDO that are structurally well-defined and continuous at surface, three at SDO South and one at SDO North. Sampling tested the continuity of gold mineralization across these systems.

The aforementioned results stem from SDO North. At SDO South, channel sampling returned a broader zone of 3.4 g/t gold over 14 m at surface and 23 g/t gold over 0.7 m underground.

President and CEO Andrew Thomson spoke with Sabrina Cuthbert about the new gold results and future exploration.

Usicayos features a 4.5 km mineralized gold trend made up of SDO SW, the central Cayos Zone and the NE Veta Zone.

Palamina has scheduled the Cayos and SDO zones for drill testing later this year. It is also planning further geological mapping and follow-up systematic underground sampling in April 2023.
