Orosur Mining (LSE:OMI) has announced additional positive drilling results from the Pepas West prospect at its Anzá project in Colombia. Located approximately 100 metres west of the main Pepas deposit, the latest programme returned shallow, high-grade gold intersections from six new drill holes, further extending the mineralised zone.
The results define a broad, near-surface oxide body around 10 metres thick, beginning at or close to the surface and returning gold grades ranging from 1 to 5 grams per tonne.
Near-Surface Mineralisation Offers Development Potential
The company believes the newly identified oxide zone could present an attractive opportunity for near-term development due to its shallow depth and free-digging characteristics, which may reduce mining and processing costs compared with deeper mineralisation.
To accelerate resource definition, Orosur plans to introduce auger drilling to quickly map the extent of the shallow mineralised zone and investigate areas beneath transported surface cover. At the same time, a diamond drilling rig will remain active on site to continue testing deeper exploration targets that could further increase the project’s overall resource potential.
