Far West Plans 10,000 Metre Drill Program at the Santo Domingo Copper-Iron-Gold Project in Chile
|
| | Vancouver, BC. - Far West Mining Ltd. (TSX: FWM) is pleased to announce a 10,000m drill program will commence December 15th at the Santo Domingo Project in Region lll Chile.
Three drill rigs have been mobilized to accomplish the program. Two diamond drill rigs and one RC drill rig will be employed to complete twenty diamond core holes for a total of 7,600m and eleven RC holes for a total of 2,750m. The program is designed for the following purposes:
- Provide material for metallurgical variability test work such as grinding indices, and copper-gold-iron recovery.
- Tighten the drill spacing, particularly inside the initial five year starter pit.
- Provide a comprehensive dataset for specific gravity.
- Expand the limits of mineralization.
- Improve the understanding of the structural framework.
The metallurgical test work will provide additional data for the principal ore types at Santo Domingo and will enable a new pre-feasibility study at a higher confidence level than previous studies. The drill program is expected to complete in February and will be expanded as necessary.
