An epithermal vein system expanding at Arco de San Lorenzo in Chile

A gold-rich vein system, extending over 7.5 kilometers, is being discovered in Chile. The latest results from San Lorenzo Gold's drilling indicate a significant strike length of the shallow, gold-bearing veins at the Arco de Oro target.

The latest drilling results from San Lorenzo Gold's Salvadora Project in Chile have revealed a potentially significant gold-rich vein system at Arco de Oro. The four drilling holes completed in the San Juan extension, which is a northwest extension of the Arco de Oro 'Core Zone', have considerably expanded the known footprint of the epithermal system. The holes encountered multiple intercepts of gold- and silver-bearing veins. The system remains open and untested further to the northwest, with artisanal workings continuing for an additional 2.6 kilometers along the trend within San Lorenzo’s Salvadora land package.
