Located in the Navidad-Calcatreau Mining District, Argentina
An under explored district hosting one of the largest silver deposits in the world
In the SW of Rio Negro Province ~30 km N of the border with Chubut Province
Comprised by 3 cateos (Prospecting Licences) selected to cover key stratigraphic and structural elements associated with the newly-discovered Navidad-Calcatreau mining district.
Argentinian team includes first-hand participation in the discovery of the Navidad Silver Deposit (M&I: 632M Oz Ag contained in 155.2 Mt @ 127 g/t Ag, 0.85% Pb, 0.05% Cu, 150 g/t AgEq)
Permits have been obtained to conduct initial geological, prospecting and geochemical sampling with work is commencing May 2021
Accessed by high quality and well maintained paved and gravel roads
Geology
Located on the southwest edge of the Somuncura (Nordpatagonico) Massif in the Patagonia area of southern Argentina.
This boundary of the massif is coincident with the “Gastre Fault System”, a long-lived mega-structural feature.
Target stratigraphy is at the contact area between the Jurassic Taquetren Formation and the overlying sediments
Observed elevated pathfinders of Barium and Silver in soil geochemistry with similar signature to Navidad discovery.
