Ridgestone Mining (TSXV: RMI) issued a review of results from exploration on its Rebeico gold-copper project in Sonora, Mexico, and reported that two styles of mineralization were recognized at the site, both containing copper, gold and silver.<\/p>\n
In a press release<\/a>, Ridgestone explained that the mineralization was identified at the over 1 kilometre-long north-south trending Alaska vein, and at the intensely altered breccia zones southwest of the vein.<\/p>\n “Both styles of mineralization contain similar minor elements such as bismuth, suggesting that they are related to each other and may be close to a possible copper-gold porphyry at depth,” the media statement reads. “To further investigate this possibility, the author recommended a Phase 1 exploration program consisting of an induced potential and resistivity survey, mapping and rock-chip geochemical sampling, and diamond drilling.”<\/p>\n The Vancouver and Taipei-based miner said that an Induced Polarization geophysical survey, comprised of 18 line-kilometres, was carried out and an initial interpretation of the data it yielded, showed a high chargeability anomaly.<\/p>\n According to Ridgestone, the top of the zone of high chargeability appeared to decrease in depth going south and could reach surface near the company’s Elena mining concession.<\/p>\n “In summary, Ridgestone’s exploration results since optioning the Rebeico property have proven very fruitful and justify a more comprehensive program including detailed mapping and sampling, further geophysical surveys, and extensive diamond drilling,” the miner’s press brief states.<\/p>\n Rebeico sits on Mexico\u2019s famed Sierra Madre Gold belt, credited with production of over 80 million ounces of gold and over 4.5 billion ounces of silver.<\/p>\n The post Ridgestone Mining finds two types of
