WestStar Resources Corp. (CVE:WER) said Tuesday that it has started phase one exploration work on its La Paloma property in the State of Jalisco, Mexico.
Field crews from APEX Geoscience have begun the work, which consists of geological mapping, ground-base magnetic and induced polarization geophysics, as well as rock, soil and stream sampling.
Geological mapping has revealed a number of areas immediately to the north and south of main mine adits where the vein zone has been historically exposed, the company said. These targets are being channel and chip sampled, with the hope that these outcrops will provide WestStar with true widths of the vein zone.
Field crews have also mapped and sampled historical workings without any evidence of previous sampling.
Historical mine plans are being compiled, along with high resolution satellite imagery to help in completing a digital elevation model.
At the end of the phase one work program, the company plans to have a 3D model developed to integrate the old mine working, geophysical surveys, sampling, as well as the results of a geological mapping campaign.
The 3D model will be designed to guide the company in the next phase of work, a 3,000 metre diamond drilling program.
The property concessions are located approximately 70 kilometeres west of the city of Guadalajaraand, covering 160 hectares.
The property was, at one time, owned by Penoles who relinquished it in 1980. In 1983 and 1984, a government agency, drained and entered the northern end of the main tunnel of the Veta Ancha workings and sampled an exploration drift approximately 100 metres from the 1928 planned mining to the northwest.
Based on this work, a "potential reserve" of 750,000 tonnes grading 4.19 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold and 123 g/t silver was reported.
