Silver Elephant Mining Corp. Commences 2,300 meter Maiden Sunawayo Drilling Program in Bolivia
![Silver Elephant Mining Corp. Commences 2,300 meter Maiden Sunawayo Drilling Program in Bolivia](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
This is the first ever drilling campaign in history at Sunawayo, acquired by Silver Elephant in September, 2020. Since that time the Company has collected over 900 samples along an 8 km strike length. Over 86% of those samples returned silver assay results grading from 1 g/t to 458 g/t. These results demonstrate extensive near-surface silver mineralization at Sunawayo.
A total 15 drillholes have been planned over a span of 3km to test potential mineralized structures at the Caballo Uma and Pujiuni targets at Sunawayo. These targets have the highest concentration of mineralized samples and exhibit the highest silver grades collected on the project to date.
Silver Elephant has completed the first drill hole while continuing its mapping and sampling program at Sunawayo, which spans 17km totaling an area of 59.5 km2.
