Geology: |
high-sulphidation epithermal gold and silver system |
History: |
The Cerro Colorado Property is 100% owned by Almaden through staking. The colourful hydrothermal
alteration on the Cerro Colorado was recognised by Morgan Poliquin during a regional helicopter exploration program. |
Past work includes: |
geological mapping, geochemistry, IP surveys |
Geology: |
low-sulphidation epithermal gold system |
History: |
The Fuego Property was recognised
during an Almaden helicopter reconnaissance program for copper porphyry
systems in Mexico. Visible gold was recognised
in several hand specimens collected on the property, which led Almaden to acquire a 100% interest
by staking in 2003. |
Past work includes: |
geological mapping, geochemistry, IP surveys, and limited drilling. |
Highlight results: |
Diamond drill results from Horseshoe Gold's 2005-2006 Program include 6.13m of 1g/t gold (HOLE 2), 0.39m of 4.26g/t gold and 100g/t silver (HOLE 3), and 1.10m of 1.65g/t gold and 103g/t silver (HOLE 8). Almaden believes that the drilling intersected the vein at very shallow levels and that the results are encouraging for high grade gold and silver at greater depths. |

epithermal gold-silver system |
| Overview: |
The Ponderosa property is 100% owned by Almaden and was acquired by staking in late 2005. The claim group covers 6950 hectares (69.5 sq. km.) within the Spences Bridge Group volcanic assemblage. The property is located 25 km southwest of Merritt, B.C. and has good road access.
|
History: |
Early into Almaden’s 2001 program, several areas of elevated gold in stream sediments were identified in southern British Columbia. Follow-up prospecting resulted in the identification and staking by Almaden of seven areas of clay-carbonate alteration and quartz veining, representative of low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver vein systems, including the Ponderosa. |
Past work includes: |
prospecting, geological mapping, geochemistry (soil & rock), trenching, IP surveys, drilling |
Highlight results: |
A 2006 trenching program exposed two extensive mineralised sections:
Trench 06-2 averaging 1.50 g/t gold over 10.0m, including 3.37 g/t gold over 3.0m and in
Trench 06-3 reported 2.83 g/t gold averaged over 6.6m, which includes a section of 2.6m section of 5.26 g/t gold across a massive, sheared quartz vein. |
Geology: |
silver-lead-zinc replacement sulphide |
History: |
The 100% owned Santa Isabela property covers a roughly 14,000 hectare area in Coahuila State, Mexico. The project was identified
by Almaden during a regional helicopter-borne prospecting program and covers
a low-lying ridge located within 50 kilometers of the large Penasquito
Ag-Pb-Zn deposit owned by Western Silver Corporation and the
historic Concepcion del Oro polymetallic mining camp. |
Past work includes: |
geological mapping, geochemistry, IP surveys, and drilling. |
Highlight results: |
Only two diamond drill holes have been drilled for a total of 765.15 meters in two separate drill programs. Both drill holes intersected anomalous silver, lead, zinc values. |
Geology: |
epithermal gold-silver system & porphyry copper-gold |
History: |
The Tuligtic project was recognised during a helicopter reconnaissance program in 2005. The property is located approximately 100 kilometres north of Puebla and 150 kilometres west of Mexico City and is covered by a 5,000 hectare claim staked and held 100% by Almaden.
|
Past work includes: |
geological mapping, geochemistry, and IP surveys. |
Highlight results: |
The rock and soil sampling and IP geophysical program has defined a large porphyry copper-gold target that has never been drill tested. In addition a low-sulphidation vein system has been identified on the property adjacent to the porphyry target. |
