Gregory K Liller, Sierra Madre's COO states, "I am very pleased to see our La Tigra trenching program is off to a good start. These first four trenches, together with the previously released reconnaissance sampling, confirm our view that the Districo del Tigre has significant gold and silver potential. No methodical modern exploration program has ever been conducted in the district and the entire team is excited by the initial results."
Trenches LTZ01 to LTZ03 started in gold-silver mineralization and are currently being extended so as to determine the full width of the economically interesting zone. Trench locations are shown in the following map.
Trenching was conducted manually using picks and shovels, and continuous channel samples were cut with a portable rock saw and then cleaned out with chisels. The following photo shows a typical sample cut.
