SALAZAR RESOURCES LIMITED announced plans for the most active exploration program in its 14-year history which will see drilling undertaken at four of its 100% owned properties, in addition to work carried out in partnership with Adventus Mining Corporation. Highlights: Drilling resumes at Los Osos. OSO-03 starts, and assays from OSO-01 and OSO-02 are pending. Copper-gold targets to be tested in a 3,000m drill program at Rumiñahui in second quarter. Field work at Los Santos has already started to generate targets for a 3,000 m drill program in H2. Field geophysics at Macara Mina is complete, with interpretation ongoing. Drilling is planned to start as soon as relevant permits are received. This week Salazar has resumed drilling at its 100% owned property, Los Osos porphyry gold target. OSO-03, with a planned depth of approximately 500m, is targeting mineralization in the northwest of the concession area. The second hole, OSO-02, was completed at a depth of 576m in December and the rig underwent maintenance over the holiday period. Assays from OSO-01 and OSO-02 are pending. Rumiñahui; At Rumiñahui, preparations for a preliminary drill program of 3,000m to test gold-copper targets during Second quarter of 2021 are underway. Drilling will be the culmination of years of positive and constructive dialogue with the local community. The drill program is being designed to test historic adits, old workings, near surface veins and stockworks that Salazar believes may be linked to an underlying porphyry. Los Santos: The gold-copper Los Santos project will be the third project to be drilled independently by Salazar Resources this year. Mapping and sampling have already started at the Los Santos project with a view to generating drill targets that can be drilled later in the second half of the year. Key areas of interest are situated where artisanal activity has been concentrated and also where areas of anomalous mineralization have been highlighted in previous exploration. Los Santos is the recently optioned 2,215 hectare property situated adjacent to the concessions hosting the 16.7 Moz Cangrejos deposits and it is approximately 10 km northeast of Los Osos. Macara Mina: The geophysical survey at the gold and volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) Macara Mina project was completed in December. Raw data has been received and confirms the main geological and geochemical anomalies at Macara Mina. Interpretation of the gravity and magnetic data is ongoing and a final report is being prepared. Meanwhile, Salazar is advancing a 3,000 m scout drilling application. The plan is to drill Macara as soon as relevant permits are granted, a timetable which may enable the project to be drilled this year.
