Highlights:

  • Drilling results at the El Zorro project indicate a wider mineralized system.

  • Focus on expanding the Ternera deposit through northern and southern extensions.

  • Ongoing drilling campaigns align with the company’s long-term resource development.

The mining sector remains a key contributor to resource expansion efforts, with gold exploration playing a significant role in advancing mineral discoveries. Tesoro Gold continues to expand its activities at the El Zorro gold project in Chile, leveraging new drilling results to define additional mineralized zones.

Drilling Insights at the Ternera Deposit

Recent exploration efforts at the Ternera deposit have outlined a shallow mineralized zone extending beyond previous resource estimates. Detailed drilling has identified significant intersections, confirming the presence of mineralization both to the north and south of the deposit. Notable drill results reveal gold-bearing zones with substantial mineralization, reinforcing the continuity of the system.

Further drilling efforts at the southern segment of the deposit have identified high-grade mineralization at various depths, supporting the ongoing assessment of untapped zones. These results strengthen the geological framework of the deposit and contribute to the company’s ongoing exploration objectives.

Expansion Towards the Northern Frontier

Exploration has intensified in the northern section of the Ternera deposit, where wide mineralized intersections have been identified at shallow depths. This expansion effort is aimed at enhancing resource estimates and optimizing open pit development plans. The geological characteristics of this region suggest continuity in mineralization, prompting further assessment to delineate the extent of the deposit.

The identification of new mineralized structures within the northern extension supports continued drilling campaigns, providing further clarity on the scale and distribution of gold-bearing zones.

Ongoing Exploration and Resource Development

Tesoro Gold has mobilized multiple drill rigs to advance exploration within key areas of the El Zorro project. The current phase of drilling focuses on both infill and step-out drilling to enhance the geological model. The results from these initiatives contribute to a broader understanding of the mineralized system and support further project planning.

Exploration strategies remain centered on defining additional extensions of the Ternera deposit while evaluating new zones for potential resource growth. The geological setting of the region continues to provide insights into the evolving nature of mineralization, guiding exploration priorities.

Sector Outlook and Exploration Progress

The broader exploration landscape continues to highlight the significance of gold discoveries, with drilling advancements playing a key role in resource expansion. Ongoing assessment of mineralized zones within the El Zorro project aligns with broader exploration trends, emphasizing the importance of continuous geological evaluation.

With sustained drilling efforts and expanding exploration footprints, the mining sector remains engaged in defining new mineral resources while advancing projects that contribute to long-term development.
