VANCOUVER, BC, May 11, 2022 /CNW/ - MANTARO PRECIOUS METALS CORP. (TSXV: MNTR) (OTCQB: MSLVF) (FSE: 9TZ) (the "Company" or "Mantaro") is pleased to announce the mobilization of a crew from Leduc Drilling S.R.L. ("Leduc Drilling") to start its maiden 5,000-meter diamond drill program on the Golden Hill Property, located in Bolivia. The Company anticipates drilling to commence the week of May 15, 2022.
Craig Hairfield, Chief Executive Officer of the Company states, "After several months of extensive geologic work and preparation, the Mantaro team is excited to begin its maiden 5,000-meter drill program on the Golden Hill Property. Our geologists have mapped a significant mineralized footprint, extending over 6 kilometers in strike length across the Golden Hill concession and we are eager to test the property's potential. We are pleased to be working alongside Leduc Drilling, a reputable drilling services company with extensive drilling experience in Bolivia."
Golden Hill is centered on a broadly north-south trending regional structure that hosts the La Escarcha underground mine and the Gabby, Garrapatillia and Brownfields workings and gold-bearing veins in its western hanging wall. The same structure hosts numerous saprolite gold and hard rock gold deposits to the north and south of Golden Hill over a strike length of at least 25 kilometers — underpinning the significant control the structure exerts on gold mineralization.
Exploration drilling efforts will initially focus on La Escarcha given its veins are well exposed at both surface and in underground workings. Mantaro will likely conduct subsequent scout drilling at the Gabby, Brownfields, Garrapatillia and Westfield exploration targets.
