San Marco Begins Drilling at Buck Property, Central BC
San Marco Begins Drilling at Buck Property, Central BC
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 17, 2020) -
San Marco Resources Inc. (TSXV: SMN) ("San Marco" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling at its 100% optioned gold/silver/zinc Buck property in north
central B.C.
Highlights of the fully-funded Phase I drill program include:
Up to 2,000 metres of HQ diamond drilling
Investigate potential depth extensions of known mineralized zones
Step-out drilling in areas of potential new discoveries
Confirm bulk tonnage potential as well as zones of high grade mineralization
Since very little drill core from historical drilling is available for review, this initial drill program will
provide fresh drill core for
detailed logging and support of what appears to be a large, highly altered gold/silver/zinc breccia system.
San Marco's Vice President of Technical Services, Sharyn Alexander, commented "We are very excited to begin drilling at our
Buck property. We have a strong technical team with years of combined experience, and we are eager to test some very
interesting targets outlined during our data compilation and review. Data to date indicates the Buck property hosts large areas of
surface and near surface mineralization and it is anticipated that the current drilling will confirm this and give indications of depth
potential."
The Buck property is thought to be structurally complex, such that the Company has retained Chris Gallagher of Rogue
Geoscience, who specializes in 3D geologic and structural modeling, oriented core procedures and integration of field portable
analyzers. The drill program is being conducted under the supervision of Coast Mountain Geological Ltd, mineral exploration
consultants, of Vancouver B.C. Local operator J.T. Thomas of Smithers, B.C., is carrying out the drilling.
