Amalia long-section
Amalia Potential• High grade gold and silver mineralization outcrops at intervals vertically at least 600 m below San Pedro
• Similar style epithermal mines (e.g. Palmerejo, Pinos Altos, La Cienga) located in the same regional volcanic belt have ore zones occurring over vertical intervals +600 m
• High level colloform and chalcedonic textures at Campamento indicate depth potential.
• Radius has tested a limited part of the system and intends to follow the high-grade along strike and to depth in Phase II drilling.
