Update on Bay State Silver Project
Sunrise Resources plc (ticker symbol 'SRES'), the AIM-traded
diversified mineral exploration and development company ("the
Company"), is pleased to present the following summary of progress
to date on its priority Bay State Silver Project and to advise that
further drilling is now provisionally scheduled for next
spring.
Project Summary:
-- Historical production (1860s-1920s) focused on Chihuahua Vein
- significant historical production including direct shipping ores
up to 7,200 g/t (210 oz/t) silver.
-- Surface samples of vein material left behind by old miners
average 387 grammes/tonne silver (11.3 oz/t) silver along a 280
metre strike length of the Chihuahua vein system.
-- Underground sampling returned:
Ø bonanza values up to 4kg/tonne silver (4,020g/t or 0.4% or
117oz/t) within replacement style mineralisation at end of adit
over 61cm (2ft).
Ø over 1kg/tonne silver (1,123g/t or 33oz/t) average for 18
samples along 230m strike length to end of adit.
-- Surface and underground sampling together suggest a c.500m
minimum strike length for drill targeting.
-- Five holes drilled to date on Chihuahua vein system. Three
holes hit high grade silver mineralisation:
Ø 1,460 g/t silver (42.6 oz/ton) over 0.2m from 164.13m in Hole
15SRDD002.
Ø
Ø 566 g/t silver (16.5 oz/ton) over 0.5m from 70.71m in Hole
15SRDD001.
Ø
Ø 503 g/t silver (14.7 oz/ton) over 1.4m from 185.32m in Hole
15SRDD003.
-- Fourth hole demonstrated continuity of Chihuahua vein system at 300m below surface.
-- Further drilling provisionally scheduled for spring 2017.
Commenting today, Executive Chairman Patrick Cheetham said: "The
Company has achieved significant progress at Bay State on a limited
budget. Through surface and underground sampling on the Chihuahua
vein we have demonstrated high silver grades over a strike length
of around 500m and have confirmed the occurrence of bonanza grades
that supported historical production of direct smelter feed grades
in the past. We have drilled just five holes so far on the
Chihuahua vein, three have hit high grade silver mineralisation and
one has demonstrated continuity of the vein system at a depth of
300m below surface. That's an excellent strike rate and we have
been successful in predicting the location of the Chihuahua Vein in
all but one hole. This success was underpinned by careful and
systematic sampling, and planning which is continuing. Due to the
high cost of drilling in winter, it is proposed that follow-up
drilling be scheduled for spring. This is likely to include further
drill testing along strike south of Mining Canyon and deeper
drilling beneath the existing high grade drill intersections
obtained north of Mining Canyon. Further details will be provided
in due course."
