Prospero Silver Corp. announced that drilling has started at the Pachuca SE project close to the historic mining city of Pachua in Hidalgo State, Mexico. This drilling completes the third project in a 6,900m program to test 3 of Prospero's projects under the terms of a strategic investment from Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. made in May 2017. Prospero and Fortuna are planning a 3-4 hole, 1,800m drill program to test 2 targets with deep, angled holes. The 7,256 hectare Pachuca SE claim is 24km SE of the city of Pachuca, Hidalgo. Infrastructure is excellent, with power available and easy road access from the Pachuca-Tulancingo freeway which crosses the middle of the property. Pachuca SE is on strike from the Pachuca-Real del Monte epithermal vein camp. Epithermal-style argillic alteration is associated with anomalous Au, Ag and Zn geochemistry, exposed in an erosional window into an andesitic and felsic volcanic pile. The anomalous geochemistry and clay alteration are essentially identical to that seen in the Vizcaina structure above the Pachuca Mine. Prospero's technical team have mapped hydrothermal alteration and geochemical anomalies associated with structures which indicate the alteration could host a preserved Pachuca-type epithermal deposit at depth. The first hole will target an actively mined clay pit, which consists of a structurally controlled illite alteration zone that is mined to produce construction brick. The argillic cap above Vizcaina vein also consists predominantly of illite.
