Early stage exploration drilling in 2012 confirmed a north trending corridor that hosts a Au-Ag mineralization that remains underexplored. The shallow drill holes were consistently anomalous in Ag and As, with gold increasing at depth. Consistent and coincident exploration anomalies from all sources merit follow up
Tepal’s proposed pits (in white) line up within a jog of a regional NE structure.
Mineralization is hosted in rocks depleted in K.
Very little intrusion occurs on the property or in core. Host rock is a highly clay altered andesite breccia with little silica.
This was a strong indication that something more that a porphyry deposit may be underlying the property.
Importantly, it has a regional scale exploration potential.
