Palamina Expands Silver, Copper, Manganese Footprint at the Galena Project

Core Insights - Palamina Corp. has expanded its soil and subcrop sampling program at the Galena Silver Copper Manganese Project, utilizing a portable XRF analyzer to further define mineralized zones [1][3] Group 1: Project Developments - The expanded XRF soil sampling indicates the presence of a large hydrothermal system in the Tacaza formation volcanic rocks, supporting two strong geochemically anomalous trends [3] - A total of 730 samples were collected during the second XRF soil sampling campaign, delineating two distinct mineralized anomalies over 3 km by 1.5 km [7][11] - The company plans to conduct further XRF soil sampling and a property-wide gravity survey to prioritize drill targets, as the Galena project has not yet seen any drilling [15] Group 2: Mineralization Details - Mineralization at Galena occurs along veins, fractures, and within autobreccia matrix, hosted in Miocene-aged Tacaza Formation volcanic flows [4] - Previous rock samples from the Rosa and Azul zones returned significant values, including up to 1,135 g/t Ag, 5.2% Cu, and 0.69% Mn [5] - XRF values from the Tertiary volcanics at surface graded up to 440 g/t silver, 0.6% copper, and 2.7% manganese [7] Group 3: Geological Context - The Cretaceous-aged Ayabacas formation limestone underlies the Miocene volcanic sequence, with a limited Induced Polarization study mapping the limestone contact [5] - A significant manganese anomaly covers the area between the Rosa Zone and the Verde Zone, indicating potential for blind CRD mineralization similar to Berenguela and Santa Barbara [11]
