Elementos extends high grade gold silver at the Santo Domingo project

Elementos (ASX: ELT) has extended the high grade gold structure at the Yvette prospect on the back of infill sampling.

The Yvette prospect is part of Elementos’ Santo Domingo Project in Argentina, which also includes the Divisoria gold-copper porphyry prospect.

Trenching on the Yvette Norte gold silver trend has indicated the presence of a new parallel, high grade gold silver structure under talus cover.

Infill sampling was carried out over a 700 metre long segment, and returned high grade gold and silver results along with lead, zinc and copper.

Highlights from rock chip sampling include:

- 20.8 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 82g/t silver over 1 metre;
- 46.2g/t gold and 541g/t silver over 0.5 metres; and
- 32.2g/t gold and 20g/t silver over 0.4 metres.

This sampling program shows the continuity of high grade gold and silver over the main north-south sub-vertical trend.

It has also identified a series of smaller parallel structures, between 3 and 20 metres from the main structure.

Significantly, vertical gradation has been identified from low grade gold-silver close to the surface to high grade gold-silver mineralisation at deeper levels.

Deep penetration geophysics will be carried out to test both the vertical and horizontal extents of the system.

With a strong spatial relationship between the Yvette structural system and the Divisoria porphyry environment at surface, Elementos has increased the potential size of the combined mineralised systems.

The company’s next steps at Yvette will depend on the geophysics from the Divisoria prospect.
