Condor Gold obtains "high grade gold results" at La India
Condor Gold said mapping and rock sampling at its Nicaragua-based La India project had produced "high grade gold results" in three new areas along strike from known gold mineralisation at Mestiza, Cacao and Andrea which provide "excellent upside".
The gold exploration and development company reported that rock chip sampling from the areas produced results of "up to 37 grams per tonne gold from Mestiza, up to 24 g/t gold on Andrea and up to 16 g/t gold on Cacao."
"Furthermore, recent drilling by Condor at Mestiza increasingly demonstrates the importance of high-grade 'oreshoots' within long, relatively continuous veins," company chief Mark Child said.
Accoridng to Child, those offered the best chance of adding high-grade economic ounces to the global resource list at La India.
On the back of its surface rock chip sampling and trenching, Condor had also decided to prioritise the northwest extension at Mestiza, where veins coalesce and intersect.
So too was the eastern, concealed extension at Cacao, the company said.
