The 2019 RC program was to validate the continuity of known mineral zones and evaluate the resource potential of other zones in same setting of the easterner part of the deposit. (Figure 1 and Table 1).
“The RC exploration drilling program continues to deliver good positive results. It is allowing us to get detailed information on the extent of the mineralized structures (orientation and thickness) close to the surface and confirm the extension of the existing mineralized envelopes. It should increase the quality and extent of silver mineral resources within the existing pit-constrained resources highlighted in the PEA of

The RC samples were sent to the independent laboratory Afrilab based in Marrakech (
Quality Control / Quality Assurance (QA/QC)
The direction and inclination of the RC drillholes were oriented in a way to target perpendicular to mineralization. The RC samples were split at the mine site. After drying, each sample was divided in two parts using the Jones riffle separator. One part was placed in a tightly sealed plastic bag with a laboratory identification number and grouped in sealed plastic buckets which were sent to the Afrilab laboratory. The remaining material is kept for archive in the core shack.
At Afrilab the RC samples are crushed to have d80 passing 2mm and afterward separated with a Jones riffle splitter to have 100 grams which is pulverized to have a pulp d80 of 75 microns Multi acid digestion and Atomic Absorption reading for Cu, Pb and Zn grade determination. Fire assay is used for Ag. The standards and blanks used are in line with expected results.
