Mariana Resources Ltd is a Guernsey incorporated investment holding company established to acquire potentially large or high value gold and copper-gold prospects in Chile, Argentina and other selected parts of South America.
The Group's strategy is to seek underexplored areas with potential for high grade polymetallic-gold epithermal/skarn mineralisation. Mariana brings to bear considerable field experience in this regard and early recognition of critical geological features is an important aspect.The Mariana Team brings together over 150 years of combined industry experience, with a specific South American focus.
Mariana Resources identifies seven gold-silver targets at Dos Calandrias
South American focused mineral hunter, Mariana Resources (AIM: MARL) reported positive progress at the Dos Calandrias gold-silver project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. The Dos Calandrias Project is located within Mariana Resources’ 100% owned Tongoril tenement in the central part of the Deseado Massif. Santa Cruz Province is a hot bed of activity for mineral exploration thanks to numerous gold-silver discoveries in recent years combined with supportive framework for mining companies.
Mariana reported that recent soil geochemistry and reconnaissance rock chip sampling had identified seven drill targets already within two gold anomalies, Calandrias Sur and Calandrias Norte.
At Calandrias Sur, samples were collected every 50m on E-W lines spaced 50 m apart over an area 800 by 600m. Rock chip sampling at Calandrias Sur returned 0.5 m @4.5 grams per tonne gold (Au) and 405 grams per tonne silver (Ag) and 0.8 m @ 5.7 g/t Au and 241 g/t Ag.
At Calandria Norte, samples were collected every 25 m along SE-NW lines spaced 50 m apart over an area 600m by 300m.
Scout drilling is planned once the necessary permits are obtained; in the meantime, Mariana stated that it would continue exploration with a trenching program.
John Sutcliffe, Managing Director of Mariana Resources noted the potential at Dos Calandrias: "The recently discovered breccia zones at Dos Calandrias show potential for high-grade vein and bulk tonnage mineralization in this exciting rhyolite dome setting in the Deseado Massif. A limited amount of trenching will be carried out shortly and reconnaissance drilling is planned as soon as the environmental permit is granted".
