About Iska Iska
Iska Iska pollymetallic project is a road accessible, royalty-free property, wholly-controlled by the Title Holder, Empresa Minera Villegas S.R.L. and is located 48 km north of Tupiza city, in the Sud Chichas Province of the Department of Potosi. The property can be classified as a polymetallic (Ag, Zn, Pb, Au, Cu, Bi, Sn, In) epithermal-porphyry complex. This is an important mineral deposit type in Bolivia.

Geological mapping on the property by Eloro has revealed the spatial and temporal zonation of alteration and vein minerals in an area of about 5 square kilometres. The polymetallic mineralization occurs mainly as veins, subsidiary vein swarms, veinlets, stockworks, and disseminations, forming a subvertical vein system in both the stock and the volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Preliminary evaluation work including 42 channel samples in underground and on surface workings at Iska Iska returned significant results as summarized below. All of the channel samples included altered wall rock with widths ranging between 1.20 to 5.55 m, averaging 2.90 m (see Eloro’s press release dated October 8, 2019 for further details).

• Silver. Anomalous silver values range between 35.5-694 g/t Ag (46% of channel samples).
• Gold. Anomalous gold values range between 0.31-28.6 g/t Au (42% of channel samples).
• Zinc. Anomalous zinc values range between 1.05-16.95% Zn (37% of channel samples).
• Lead. Anomalous lead values range between 0.41- 16.95% Pb (49% of channel samples).
• Copper. Anomalous copper values range between 0.1->1% (22% of channel samples).
• Bismuth. Anomalous bismuth values range between 967-7,380 g/t Bi (22% of channel samples).
• Indium. Anomalous indium values range between 10.35 - >500 g/t In (34% of channel samples).
