These two holes, totalling 492 m, were drilled on Attila-South and Attila-North targets, composed of fractured silicified and sericitized dacite injected by 1 to 7 percent quartz-chlorite-pyrite stringers associated with widespread 1 to 3% disseminated pyrite and traces of chalcopyrite over an area of 400 m x 500 m.
Targeting by drilling southward Attila-South and associated gold-copper-zinc soil anomalies, hole nine cut a thick dacite sequence hosting numerous mineralized intervals varying between 15 to 40 meters thick and bottomed down in mineralized sericitized diorite with 1-5% disseminated pyrite for the last 13 m, still open at depth at 312 m.
Testing northward the Attila-North target, hole ten hit a similar dacite sequence with several mineralized intervals between 22 to 46 meters thick and also ended in chloritized and silicified diorite with 1-3% disseminated pyrite for the last 7 m, still mineralized at 180 m. Both mineralized Attila zones remain open, warranting further drilling.
Let us recall ATTILA gold-copper-silver prospect is hosted in a fractured rhyodacite dome overlying Kali Porphyry to the south (chalcopyrite-rich stringer/stockwork over 75 m long and 5 to 15 m wide, up to 8.08 g/t gold, 96.7 g/t silver, 2.43% Cu). Some 100 m north, a several meters sub-parallel horizon (Attila-N) extending over 50 m long with narrow quartz-carbonate-pyrite veins returned five samples greater than 1.0 g/t gold (up to 3.64 g/t Au & 26.7 g/t Ag) (see previous releases).
Dios just completed its Fall 2020 helicopter-supported drill program on wholly-owned K2. It comprised ten holes totalling 2509.4 meters on Wi-Target and Attila showings 7 km east. Some 1,395 split core samples and 154 controls were recently sent to ALS-Global laboratory in Val d’Or,
