First Assays from Los Cisnes Drilling Extend High-Grade Silver Mineralization; LCsD-14 Intersects 566 g/t Ag over 4.4m (4.1m True Width)

 

TSX-V: NDR

VANCOUVER, July 26, 2018 /CNW/ - New Dimension Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NDR) (the "Company" or "New Dimension") is pleased to announce that the Phase I diamond drill program targeting high-grade silver(-gold) mineralization at the Los Cisnes Project (Figure 1) has now been completed. This represents the first drill program to be undertaken by New Dimension since the acquisition of the Santa Cruz Portfolio of 3 advanced-stage gold-silver projects from Sandstorm Gold Ltd (TSX: SSL, NYSE: SAND) in May, 2018.

Highlights

 

Eric Roth, New Dimension's CEO, commented today: "I am delighted to be reporting the first assays from our Phase I Santa Cruz Diamond Drill Program. These initial results have confirmed extensions to the known high-grade silver mineralization at our Los Cisnes Project, especially in the vicinity of the scout drill hole LCsD-09 completed by Mariana in 2015.  Results from our step-back hole LCsD-14 - a 60m down-dip extension of the LCsD-09 mineralization - are particularly significant, as it includes a very high-grade interval assaying 0.8m @ 1,653 g/t Ag. No drilling has been completed beneath this level, so potential still exists for extending this high-grade silver mineralization to >60m vertically below surface."

Los Cisnes Project Overview and 2018 Drill Results

High-grade silver(-gold) values were identified at Los Cisnes from previous channel sampling and scout diamond drilling on the Brio vein/breccia system. Brio is a quartz-sulfide(-Fe-oxide) vein/breccia system which strikes ENE, can be traced on surface for approximately 2.3km, and is up to 3m wide. In 2015, 8 scout diamond drill holes for 723m were completed along the Brio structure, with the best intercept being 2.9m @ 755 g/t Ag from 32.1m downhole in LCsD-09¹.

Summaries of the assay results received and technical data for the 2018 Los Cisnes drill holes are given in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Mineralized intercepts at Brio are defined by quartz-Fe-oxide(-pyrite-acanthite or Ag₂S)-style mineralization in a subvertical vein/vein breccia system (Figure 4). A potential N-S cross structure to the main Brio structure (and identified from ground magnetic data) in the LCsD-9 area will also now be reviewed in further detail as this may also represent a significant new target for further exploration at Los Cisnes. Host rocks to the Los Cisnes mineralization are dominated by an upper sequence of welded ignimbrites and a lower sequence of dominantly lithic ignimbrites.

Quality Control and Assurance

Mineralized intervals presented in Table 1 are drill intersection widths and may not represent true widths of mineralization. Drill core obtained from the diamond drill program is HQ-sized. All drill core was photographed and quick logged prior to sampling. Standard sampling protocol involved the halving of all drill core and sampling over intervals determined by geology (and generally not exceeding 1m in clearly mineralized sections), with one half of the core being placed in a sealed sample bag and dispatched to the analytical laboratory for analysis. Samples were dispatched to Alex Stewart's sample preparation facility in Puerto San Julian, with pulps subsequently being sent to the Alex Stewart's analytical lab in Mendoza. All samples have been analysed for gold using a 50g Fire Assay with AAS finish (Analysis AU4-50), in addition to a 39 element ICP-AES analysis of an aqua regia digest (Analysis ICP-AR-39). Standards and blanks were inserted in to the analytical sequence on the basis of one standard plus one blank for every 25 samples.

Los Cisnes 2018 Drill Holes – Technical Data

Technical data relating to the 2018 drilling at the Los Cisnes Project are given in Table 2.

Las Calandrias Drill Update

Drilling has also been completed at the Las Calandrias Project, where a total of 25 drill holes for 3,708m were completed. The 2018 drill program at Las Calandrias focused on extending known high-grade gold mineralization in the Calandria Norte resource area, in addition to extending high-grade gold mineralization in the sub-parallel Morena vein/breccia system. Core logging and sampling of the 25 Las Calandrias drill holes are well advanced, with first assays expected to become available during August, 2018.

Ontario-based consulting group AGP Mining Consultants Inc. has also been engaged to prepare an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Las Calandrias Project.  This MRE will incorporate assay data from both historical and current drilling at Las Calandrias, and is currently scheduled for release in mid-September, 2018.

Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE)

No HSE incidents have been reported during the current drill program.

Sierra Blanca and Regional Prospects

Drill target generation activities at the Sierra Blanca Project will continue in parallel with the current drill program at Las Calandrias and Los Cisnes. However, the drill testing of high grade targets at Sierra Blanca is not expected to occur before Q4, 2018, at the earliest. Reconnaissance activities on the Company's Regional Prospects are also anticipated to restart after the termination of the Patagonian winter.
