Azure Minerals’ (ASX: AZS) drilling has extendedto the west, north and south, mineralisation at the Cascada deposit of its Promontorio copper-gold-silver project in the Mexico.
Each of the first three holes intersected a high grade core of copper mineralisation surrounded by a wider mineralised zone containing anomalous copper, gold and silver.
This is consistent with earlier results from Cascada and together with the recent discovery of the copper mineralised porphyry below Cascada, adds further support to Azure’s model that the overall Promontorio project area has the potential to host a major copper deposit.
The near surface copper mineralised zone has been extended to 140 metres along strike and 150 metres down dip and mineralisation remains open along strike to the west and down-dip to the north.
Drilling is continuing at Cascada.
Azure believes that the near-surface Cascada deposit is the high sulphidation epithermal mineralisation associated with the nearby porphyry copper body it recently discovered.
Further drilling will test both the near-surface extensions and depth extensions of the Cascada system, as well as the underlying porphyry.
