TORO - HIGH GRADE GOLD-SILVER-COPPER HS EPITHERMAL
Toro is the sister deposit to Tolita, with even more existing drilling and even higher grade results. Much like Cerro Casale & Caspiche, the two mega deposits combined into the Barrick-Newmont Norte Abierto JV, Vicunau believes Toro and Tolita to be two large deposits stemming from one massive system.
Toro has had 6 shallow RC drill holes, drilled blind (no IP), yet 5/6 holes intercepted anomalous gold and silver values including 24m of 0.5g/t gold and 11g/t silver, 6m of 0.7g/t gold and 8g/t silver, 8m of 0.2g/t gold and 36g/t silver, etc.
Rare to Have Gold-Silver High Sulfidation Asset in Region:
Toro has had 452 geochemical samples, significantly less than the 3,827 samples analyzed at Tolita, and 3 helicopter magnetic surveys (compared with Tolita’s 4).
Toro has had significant trenching, totalling 3,00m+ (3km), with some excellent grades.
It is rare in the ergion to have high grade gold above 1/gt and silver above 10g/t on surface, even in the largest deposits. Toro has trenching exceeding those grades in many places. For example, one trench (TT-2) displayed grades up to 1.55g/t gold and 72g/t silver, with another (TT-5) getting 66g/t silver, 74g/t silver, up to 88g/t silver.
Toro was drilled blindly (no IP) in the late 1990s, yet 5/6 holes intercepted anomalous gold and silver grades. Copper wasn’t even tested for (given focus on gold-silver and low copper prices at the time), yet we believe copper will be proven to be present in future campaigns.
Toro-2 ended in highest grade mineralization of 0.7g/t gold and 8g/t silver, while Toro-3 displayed 84m of 7g/t silver, and Toro-5 hitting 30m of 17g/t silver with gold credits as well.
Vicunau was the first company to ever run IP Survey on Toro, and hit a very nice anomaly. The geophysics firm commented “Significant trenching has tested most of the outcropping silicified areas… results showed encouraging grades to 2g/t gold… chargeability amplitudes are not typical of Cu-Au porphyry systems like Tolita. However, amplitudes in this range can be associated with high sulfidation epithermal systems, especially in the Maricunga Belt… The main chargeability anomalies have not been drilled although several drill holes have come close.
