Pacifico Minerals Limited Quarterly Activities Report (June 2015 quarter)
Highlights
COLOMBIA
Berrio Project - Gold
- Soil sampling program over mineralised faulted contact identifies +1km long gold in soil anomaly which remains open to the south
- Underground channel sampling program completed and demonstrates that mineralisation at the faulted contact extends to depth with results including:
* 50cm @ 42.49 g/t Au, 77.5 g/t Ag and 0.24% Cu (43567)
* 50cm @ 33.24 g/t Au, 146 g/t Ag, 0.34% Cu and 0.84% Zn (43571)
* 80cm @ 31.41 g/t Au, 106 g/t Ag and 0.23% Cu (43566 and 43570)
* 50cm @ 8.19 g/t Au, 59.5 g/t Ag, 0.5% Cu and 23.48% Zn (43569)
- Additional soil sampling is ongoing to the east of the central grid to target shear hosted mineralisation in the Berrio Sediments, a style similar to that drilled by Pacifico in its 2014 campaigns.
- Pacifico's geologists are currently designing drill programs to test the continuity of high-grade mineralisation at the contact along strike and down dip of artisanal mines.
Natagaima Prospect - Copper/Silver
- Completion of phase two reconnaissance exploration provides further encouraging assays from grab samples including:
* 8.42g/t Au (MO5703)
* 6.2% Cu (MO5724)
* 2.30g/t Au (MO6207)
* 1.89g/t Au and 1.71% Cu (MO5716)
* 1.25g/t Au, 113g/t Ag and 6.05% Cu (MO6222)
AUSTRALIA
Borroloola West Project, NT - Copper/Manganese
- Completed field reconnaissance program and assessment of VTEM data leading to the development of drill targets for zinc - lead - silver and copper (Berjaya, Bing Bong and Coppermine Creek).
- Reverse circulation and diamond drilling commenced at Coppermine Creek prospect testing for both fault related and Mount Isa style stratabound copper mineralisation.
- Subsequent to the quarter end, drilling completed at Coppermine Creek with assay results expected by end of July 2015. Drilling also commenced at Bing Bong.
- Very encouraging visual results shows the Gordons Fault zone to contain broad zones of brecciation and dolomite-silica alteration of siltstones with both disseminated chalcopyrite and bands of semi-massive chalcopyrite.
- Qualitative values of more than 25% Cu from a pXRF obtained from the semi-massive sulphide bands, over widths of up to 30cm.
CORPORATE & FUNDING
- Implemented several cost saving initiatives as part of annual cost review.
- Consolidated cash balance at 30 June 2015 was approximately $2.8 million. The Company has no debt.
