Las Bayas Drill Program Commences |
|||||
|
|
JANUARY 21, 2003,
Encouraged by the surface results announced to
date, IMA Exploration Inc. has started the 2,000 metre Phase I diamond
drilling program on the Company's 100% owned Las Bayas property in
Patagonia, Argentina. The program will target four gold bearing low-sulphidation
epithermal gold veins that have a combined strike length of over 4
kilometres, with widths up to 22 metres and gold equivalent grades up to
27 grams per tonne.
IMA's geological team conducting the drill program
has an intimate knowledge of the local geology. The exploration team on
Las Bayas includes: Paul Lhotka, Ph.D., P.Geo., who has extensive
experience in low sulphidation epithermal gold vein systems; Sergio Kain,
B.Sc., who was a member of Brancote PLC's geological team that was
credited with the Esquel discovery; and Daniel Bussandri, B.Sc., a local
Argentine geologist with substantial experience in the Patagonia region.
The drill program will be overseen by Keith Patterson, M.Sc., IMA's
Exploration Manager. |
