Soho Resources is a Canadian-based junior resource company focused on exploring and developing the Tahuehueto gold-silver project in northwestern Durango State, Mexico.
The 9,081-hectare property covers at least 12 mineralized zones hosted within a structurally controlled epithermal system that has been traced for more than 6 km. Exploration programs have confirmed significant gold-silver mineralization with associated base metals at many of these zones.
Soho Resources starts exploration on Jocuixtita silver project
Soho Resources Corp (CVE:SOH) said Thursday it has begun exploration work on its Jocuixtita silver project in Sinaloa, Mexico.
The Jocuixtita property hosts a number of northeast trending epithermal vein structures mineralized with silver, gold, lead and zinc.
The company has started road rehabilitation to prepare for the first phase of exploration, which will include geological mapping, surface and underground sampling, followed by drilling of the two main zones, the La Salvadora and El Carmen areas. These two zones are located approximately 700 metres apart on the same three km long structure.
As part of due diligence work on the project, Soho completed a chip sampling program of exposed mineralization within the two main areas. Gold samples ranged to as high as 1.9 g/t, while silver values were as high as 867 g/t.
In 2009, Soho signed two option agreements for 1,668 hectares of land at Jocuixtita and staked additional concessions surrounding the optioned claims covering 2,664 hectares.
Aside from the Jocuixtita project, Soho is in the process of completing an infill drilling progam at its flagship Tahuehueto property in Mexico, designed to expand and upgrade the resources at the site.
