VANCOUVER, November 18, 2021 - Lucky Minerals Inc. (TSXV:LKY)(OTC PINK:LKMNF)(FSE:LKY) ("Lucky" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received sample assay results from its ongoing work at the Wayka epithermal gold discovery at its 100% owned Fortuna Property ("Fortuna") in southern Ecuador.
Trench T-14 averages 8.02 g/t gold over 9 metres
Trench T-14 is oriented along a northwest axis and intercepts the same mineralized structure identified in the announcement on November 9th, where 6.68 g/t gold across 12 metres was reported.
This trench is to be extended to the southeast with the purpose of confirming the orientation of the third mineralized structure with an average 2.40 g/t gold across 7 metres (also released on November 9th)
Trench T-14 was stopped to the northwest before reaching the structure to the North as the ground was too deep for trenching to continue. A proposed trench T-15 will be excavated parallel to trench T-14 to confirm the orientation of the northern structure which sampled 0.46 g/t gold across 9 metres.
The structure identified in Trench T-14 averaged 8.02 g/t gold over 9 metres and mineralization is interpreted to be structurally controlled and hosted in silicified meta-granites. It strikes east northeast.
Trench Location Map
François Perron President and CEO states "The current trenching effort is in preparation for the upcoming drilling program and is focused on providing structural information about mineralized trends that have been exposed. We are finding mineralized trends that appear to be parallel. More information is required on these structures so that the drilling strategy can be adjusted based on this information in combination with the mag geophysics and soil sampling that is currently being done. Trench T-14 confirmed the orientation of one of these trends. Once we extend trench T-14 to the southeast we will have a better understanding of the orientation of the southernmost mineralized trend in trench T-6. In a similar fashion, trench T-15 will potentially confirm the orientation of the northern most structure. We are extremely excited to be targeting the start of our drilling program in the beginning of the new year."
Fortuna - Next Steps
Wayka
Exploration teams are focused on trenching, soil sampling and a mag geophysical survey. This work will be followed by a detailed compilation of all geologic data which will subsequently lead to scout drilling in the coming months.
Trenching Results
Trench T-14:
QA/QC Protocols
All exploration work is completed following QA/QC protocols and include the insertion of a coarse blank, a standard and duplicate sample on every batch of 25 samples.
Samples are being submitted approximately every two weeks to ALS Chemex Labs in Quito for preparation work, and the analytical work is completed at their lab facility in Lima, Peru. ALS Chemex is an ISO certified and accredited laboratory. Results will be released as they are received.
