Tier One Silver’s New Hurricane Silver Project Trenches High-Grade Silver
Tier One Silver (TSXV:TSLV – OTC:TSLVF) just announced results from its reconnaissance channel sampling program at the Hurricane Silver project in southern Peru. The program was conducted at the Magdalena and Pampayeoc targets and focused on partially exposed silver-base metal vein corridors hosted in Ordovician siltstones of the San José Group. A total of five mineralized vein corridors were identified, with highlights including 6 metres (m) of 375.1 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq), 4 m of 441.7 g/t AgEq and 1 m of 860.4 g/t AgEq.
Dave Smithson, SVP Exploration, commented: “The identification of widespread silver and base metal mineralization in multiple shear zones at the Magdalena and Pampayeoc targets, and confirmation of high-grade, is a major step forward at this very early stage of exploration. The results not only highlight the potential of these vein corridors to host a major silver-base metal discovery, but re-emphasize the prospective nature of the Hurricane Silver land position. We are excited to begin gathering geophysical data to gain a better understanding of the potential of these structures to host hidden metal lodes for drill testing.”
Tier One Silver is focused on creating significant value for shareholders through the exploration and potential discovery of world-class silver, gold and copper deposits in southwest Peru. Tier One Silver’s main focus currently is the 100% owned Curibaya project, which consists of approximately 11,000 hectares and is located approximately 48 km north-northeast of the provincial capital, Tacna, accessible by road. Rock grab sampling at the Curibaya project has returned grades of up to 298,000 g/t silver and 934 g/t gold, with samples spread across a 4 x 5 km alteration system. In this interview CEO Peter Dembicki, Chairman Ivan Bebek and SVP Exploration Dave Smithson provide an update on Tier One Silver’s progress, upcoming developments and overall investment value proposition.
