Introduction
The Aguas Calientes project is characterized by multiple subcrops and boulders of Au-Ag bearing epithermal quartz veins at the property which are associated with strong hydrothermal alteration areas over a large 6km strike length. Historic drilling between 2000-2004 intercepted multiple zones of interesting Au-Ag mineralization. A Phase I 2,500 m drill program commenced in October 2019. Results from this program can be found in the news release dated February 6th, 2020 at this link.
