Chocos (Near Drill Project)
Overview
Arequipa Department, Approximately 33,300 hectares.Tertiary mafic volcanics rocks
Geology and Exploration works
- Multiple silver-base metal vein targets.
- 4 lead-zinc and gold-silver vein systems
- Two distinct structural zones.
- "Candel" (?) structure NE, 2 Km Long
- 2 vein system showing "Zone A" and “Zone B"
- Second structure, N-NW poorly defined, zones "C" and "D".
- Related to RADIAL STRUCTURES
- Miocene Age porphyritic andesitic dome.
Results
152 grab/chip samples (each of the four vein system showings.)- 12 samples returned 5 to 13% Zn,
- 17 samples assayed 5 to 20% Pb.
- 4 samples returned between 30 to 261 ppm Ag.
- Association with fracturing, local brecciation and silicification
- 5% disseminated galena and sphalerite.
