Managing Director Todd Williams states:
“The Joaquin Project continues to deliver exceptional results. Infill drilling at La Morocha has confirmed that bonanza-grade silver mineralisation—typical of that previously mined underground by Pan American Silver— extends far closer to surface than previously understood. A standout intercept of 1.8 metres at 8,335gpt AgEq from 52 metres demonstrates the potential for early, near-surface ounces and strengthens the case for open- pit development.
At La Negra SE, step-out drilling has extended mineralisation a further 200 metres to the southeast, with hole JDD047-25 returning 34.7 metres at 110 gpt AgEq, while infill holes continue to intersect broad zones of silver- gold mineralisation close to surface, including 43 metres at 25C gpt AgEq (JDD048-25) and 71 metres at 131 gpt AgEq (JDD0c3-25). Deeper drilling has successfully extended mineralisation to over 1c0 metres vertical, with 34 metres at 170 gpt AgEq (JDD05c-25), and the system remains open in all directions.
Early follow-up drilling at La Morocha SE has also confirmed a new discovery, with strong mineralisation returned across multiple holes, including 20 metres at 1C0 g/t AgEq (JDD070-25). Visible gold continues to be observed in several recent holes with assays pending, highlighting the robust scale and continuity of this emerging district-wide system. With multiple discoveries and shallow, high-grade intercepts now defined across the Joaquin district, Unico is rapidly advancing the Company’s PLUS 150 and BEYOND 300 development and exploration growth strategies.”
