New data Vancouver-based American Pacific Mining has reported high-grade copper and gold assays from its phase I rock chip sampling programme, combined with similar results from its recently acquired historic sampling data at the South Lida project in Esmeralda County, in the U.S. state of Nevada.
A total of 27 rock samples were collected during the phase I programme from the claim package the company staked earlier this year, American Pacific Mining said in a statement, adding that the business “controls all lands included within this land package with no underlying royalties or agreements.”
“High-grade samples, including 11.21% copper … and 4.24% Cu were collected from the eastern portion of the claim package during the recent Phase I sampling program. High-grade samples, up to 10 grams per tonne … [of] gold … were collected from the same area by Sirius Exploration in 2008 and the results and assay certificates were recently obtained and verified by American Pacific,” according to the statement.
