About the Project
La Virginia is located 220 kilometres east-northeast of
Hermosillo, Sonora
and is prospective for
low-sulphidation epithermal precious metal mineralization. The property and historical exploration
database were acquired by way of option agreements made with two distinct parties. Gold and
silver mineralization at La Virginia occurs within breccias, veins and stockworks, hosted primarily by
andesitic volcanics, often in close spatial association to, or cross-cutting pre-mineral dacite dykes
and controlled by fractures and faults that define the regional structural trend. Silver Viper's
reconnaissance program identified key targets and trends which are of primary interest and
subsequently filed strategic reductions in claims to attain the current project surface area of 6,882
hectares.
Silver Viper has completed a total of 141 drill holes at La Virginia for a combined 44,687 metres.
Exploration drilling has paused awaiting the processing of the geophysical survey data along with the
interpretation of mapping and sampling data. Drilling has been completed by
Hermosillo
-based drill
contractor, Globexplore Drilling Corp. Drilling by the Company to date builds upon a sizeable
database of recent historical work.
