Company mentioned: Casa Minerals Inc.
"This agreement is entirely nondilutive for Casa shareholders," Casa President/CEO Farshad Shirvani stated. "It allows us to be carried in an aggressive exploration program on Keaper, furthering the successful work of the past several years."
"We are especially excited about following up on the recent surveys that returned high values for silver, zinc and copper. With a drill permit in place from late 2018, we look forward to an active season at Keaper," Shirvani added.
The company noted that rock and soil geochemical sample surveys at Keaper have returned assays as high as 3.93 g/t gold, 1,512 g/t silver, 9.90% copper and 13.9% zinc. The 2018 field program "confirmed and extended the property's 'Nelson' prospect and identified a new 'Lucky Crew' prospect area. The various mineralized prospects have been partially defined in an area that extends about 3.2 kilometers northwest-southeast."
"There are numerous strong targets at Keaper," said Shirvani. "The focus for 2019 will be refining the drill targets with the results of an airborne survey that is scheduled to be flown this winter."
