Newstrike has a new Target, San Luis

The NES team have been on this property for years and have had much success at AP to put towards their initial discovery at San Luis.  IMHO the “proprietary” knowledge Gillian and Carig have  amassed over the years will make additional discoveries that much easier..

Im sure they have been ruminating on the initial drills at SL in the context of the AP discovery and how they relate to the general GGB model..if they are already drilling i can bet they have figured it out..Gillian said its a blind deposit so if assays come back low she will add the structures seen in core to the hypothesis and get it done on the next round..no worries there..

Mineralized intercept from drill hole SL-003. Interval assayed 1.11 gm/tonne Gold over 16.6 metres downhole (or 0.61 gm/tonne gold over 37.25 metres).

The large size of the AN Property combined with the indications of gold mineralization on

known exploration targets and the evidence from outcrops and limited drilling suggests

there is potential for multiple discoveries.  Exploration results warrant continued drill

programs. Initial work will require a  large scale aeromagnetic and reconnaissance

surveys.  Secondly, two of the targets (San Luis and Morenita) will be advanced to a

carefully-targeted drill program and at least two new prospects

9.2.1 San Luis

Preliminary regional exploration discovered  silicified, brecciated and oxidized outcrops

located near the town of San Luis on the east portion of the Coyote claim, Figure 31.

The San Luis showing occurs at the faulted contact between Morelos limestone and

Mezcala sediments and is intruded by a diorite to monzodiorite porphyry. Iron-rich

jasperoid breccia deposits were found located along a N20°W to N10°E high angle fault

that forms a sigmoid fault pattern suggesting an extensional environment.

Jasperoid outcrops located along this structure occur over a 150m north-south by 40m

east-west. Preliminary outcrop sampling returned anomalous gold (Au) values up to

1.74gm/Tonne Au, with anomalous mercury (Hg), arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) from

chip samples taken in outcrops.

A 100m grid was established over the showing and a program of detailed mapping and

grid sampling was completed. This program further defined an area 300m by 140m (4.2

hectares) which anomalous in gold. A more detailed grid with 25m by 10m centres was

laid over the core of the showing and sampled. The best assay from this program

returned 8.05 gm/ton Au from chip samples in outcrop (and averaged to 7.79 gm/ton

with repeat check assays). Moderate to strongly anomalous gold results (>0.074

gm/Tonne) are indicated on Figure 32. Jasperoid breccia is also anomalous in mercury

(to 110 ppm), arsenic (to 6,580 ppm) and antimony (to 1,910 ppm).

The geometry of the associated diorite and granodiorite intrusions is not yet clearly

defined but was interpreted to be emplaced as dikes or sills along low angle bedding

faults or thrust fault surfaces, and was intruded near the apex of an interpreted regional

anticline fold axis that trends north to northeasterly across the property. The anticline is

considered a favourable locus for intrusive emplacement and a potential trap for gold

deposition, as is the paired intrusion that is analogous to the Filos depositional

environment (Kearvell, 2009).
