Yamana’s mineral extension drilling in South America continues to bear fruit

TSX- and NYSE-listed Yamana Gold says exploration drilling results at two of its mines – Jacobina, in Brazil, and El Peñón, in Chile – continue to show growth in mineral reserves and mineral resources.

Yamana says exploration at Jacobina in the second half of last year and through the first quarter of this year expanded higher grade zones in the Canavieiras Sul deposit, both down dip and along strike to the north towards Canavieiras Central, providing significant expansion of the known mineralised zone in the highest grade sector of the mine.
