Description
Tim Shearcroft, CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSX.V: BPAG) (OTCQB: BPSCF), joins us to review the first 2 assay results from the ongoing Phase 2 drill program underway at the Cosuño Silver Project in Bolivia. This Phase 2 drilling forms the first part of a broader ~8,000 m diamond drilling campaign anticipated for 2026.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Hole CO-0013 intersected a high-grade feeder structure grading 314.3 g/t silver, 2.62% bismuth and 0.74% antimony over 3.0 m, equivalent to 1,328.8 g/t AgEq, within a broader 7.0 m interval grading 168.8 g/t silver, 1.20% bismuth and 0.35% antimony, equivalent to 634.1 g/t AgEq.
- The high-grade silver-bismuth-antimony mineralization associated with the silver system, demonstrates the potential for multiple critical and strategic metal by-products at Cosuño.
- To date, 20 drill holes have now been completed, and additional assay results will be released as they become available.
Within a lithocap system, feeder structures can represent important conduits for mineralizing hydrothermal fluids and may connect to broader vein systems at depth. Importantly, elevated bismuth and antimony were also identified in Phase 1 drilling at Cosuño, including in holes CO-0008 and CO-0009. The increasing silver grades observed down-hole in these holes and in the Pocañita Chica area are particularly encouraging and may potentially indicate that higher-grade mineralization continues down dip and at greater depth. Testing this possibility will be an important focus of the ongoing exploration program in Phase 2 and Phase 3.
The Company also reported that the high-resolution drone magnetic ("MAG") survey has been completed, covering approximately 37.5 km², and the induced polarization ("IP") survey has commenced. The geophysical surveys are designed to assist in identifying and refining additional mineralized structures and drill targets across the large silver-rich hydrothermal system. Together with the Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling, these additional datasets are expected to improve significantly the Company’s understanding of the geometry, continuity, scale, and tenor of the vein and breccia systems across Cosuño.
Once this new data gets incorporated into the geological model, then it will lead into prioritizing the targets for the Phase 3 drill program later this year. Tim also highlighted that Pocañita Grande will be getting its maiden drilling during the Phase 3 program, now that they have been developing roads and site access to this important target.
