AL17-007 Europa-Guadalupe (one caption for set of 5 photos. Depths are shown in metres. “Europa-Guadalupe vein, close-ups of mineralization. Vein-vein breccia is partly oxidized to chrysocolla (green). Dark grey metallic material is combination of acanthite (AgS), stromeyerite (AgCuS), chalcocite (Cu2S), and galena (PbS). The interval 534.65-542.90 m (8.25 m) averaged 1.76 kg/t Ag, 58 ppb Au, 1.60% Cu, 1.48% Pb, 2.60% Zn.”
AL17-007_NuevaEuropa_IMG_1300 - close up 274.30-274.50m – “close-up of Nueva Europa vein breccia. Note multiple phases of brecciation and quartz-carbonate veining.”
AL17-004_85.25-85.40 “Promontorio vein zone, southern part of Balvaneda vein. Mineralization is partly oxidized to chrysocolla, malachite, and azurite. The sample interval 84.95-85.70 m assayed 229 g/t Ag, 684 ppb Au, 0.55% Cu, 20.22% Pb, and 17.75% Zn.”
AL17-001_79.30-82.18 “Minas Nuevas vein zone. Red outline shows sample Interval 80.45-81.45 m, assaying 279 g/t Ag. Silver appears to be concentrated in dark grey fragments in breccia (blue arrows).”
AL19-025_Promontorio vein zone_AL19-025_463.75-466.50 – “Las Guijas vein, part of Promontorio zone. Vein zone is partly oxidized, with the presence of chrysocolla. The sample interval 463.85-464.80 (0.95 m) (red outline) assayed 1.566 kg/t Ag, 6.719 g/t Au, 4.48% Cu, 9.27 % Pb, 10.68% Zn.”
AL18-012_ Tigre vein zone_DSC_0305 – “Tigre vein zone cut by hole AL18-012. Note quartz-vein matrix of brecciated and epidote-altered volcanic host rock. Sample Interval 203.75-204.35 m (0.60 m) assayed 497 g/t Ag, 0.14% Cu, 0.56% Pb, 0.27% Zn.
AL17-007_NuevaEuropa_IMG_1304 – “Vein breccia of Nueva Europa vein zone. Note quartz-carbonate vein/vein breccia matrix cutting dark greenish-grey andesite. Sample interval 273.30-274.05 m (0.75 m) (in red outline) assayed 694 g/t Ag, 23 ppb Au, 0.34% Cu, 0.63% Pb, 1.30% Zn.”
