Hayasa Metals Inc. Commences Drilling at Urasar Mineral District

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Hayasa Metals Inc. has started drilling additional holes at the western end of the Urasar Mineral District, a highly prospective area with minimal exploration history. The company aims to drill at least one deeper hole to intersect with the conductive zone identified by the AMT survey, and conditional upon weather and safety conditions, a second hole is planned. This drilling program is part of Hayasa's strategy to advance the Urasar project and follow up on previous mineralization intercepts.

Key Takeaways:

  • Hayasa Metals Inc. has mobilized an Atlas Copco CS14 drill rig to the Urasar site to commence drilling hole UDD-021, targeting one of the most conductive zones identified by the AMT survey.
  • The hole is planned to a depth of 500m, significantly deeper than previous drilling, to test the conductive anomaly and the surface alteration mapped along the main access road.
  • Depending on the results and weather conditions, a second hole (UDD-022) is proposed to test the same conductive anomaly and surface alteration approximately 300m east of hole UDD-021.
  • The Urasar Mineral District is a 15-kilometre-long zone characterized by strong to intense argillic to advanced argillic alteration and surficial sulfide mineralization throughout its length.
  • Previous exploration at Urasar dates back to the early 20th century, with Soviet exploration programs in the 1930s and 1956-1960, comprising over 20 exploration adits and at least 15 shallow drill holes.
  • Qualified Person Dennis Moore reviewed the content of this news release, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
  • The company aims to advance the Urasar project and follow up on previous mineralization intercepts, and this drilling program is part of that strategy.

Statistics:

  • The 15-kilometer-long Urasar mineral district is situated along a major crustal suture that marks the closure of the ancient Tethyan Sea.
  • Over 20 exploration adits and at least 15 shallow drill holes have been conducted at Urasar prior to Hayasa's drilling program.
  • The AMT survey identified zones of low resistivity/high conductivity corresponding to areas of sulfide mineralization intersected in drill holes UDD-01, UDD-11, and UDD-14.
  • The planned drill hole UDD-021 is 500m deep, significantly deeper than previous drilling.
  • 300m east of hole UDD-021, a second proposed hole (UDD-022) is planned to test the same conductive anomaly and surface alteration.
