PLANTATION, Fla., Jan. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (OTC: ACRL) Atacama Resources International, a public company trading on the OTC exchange has released the 1930 Todora Syndicate diamond drilling results for the Atacama 1 property located in the Eby and Otto Townships within the Larder Lake Mining Division.
Todora diamond drilled seven holes on the Atacama 1 property in 1930 but Atacama Resources did not receive the assay results until late 2018. Atacama 1 consists of twelve claims on 480 acres. Core samples for four of the holes yielded gold concentrations of at least two (2) ounces per ton. These are very good results. However, Hole #6 assayed, at approximately 365 feet, a gold concentration of eight (8) ounces per ton. This result is duly noted and Atacama Resources will undertake extensive exploration and development in and around Hole #6 in 2019.
It should be emphasized that the Atacama properties are located less than five miles southwest of the new Kirkland Lake Gold, Ltd. Mining activities. Kirkland Lake Gold’s Micassa mine is considered one of the highest grade gold mines in the world.
Glenn Grant, CEO reported “Atacama Resources International is excited about the Todora diamond drilling assay results. The combination of the very positive gold concentrations found on the property and the proximity to the existing Micassa mine provide strong encouragement for Atacama to further develop the properties.” Adds Grant, “The gold exploration activities in Kirkland Lake have taken on the appearance of a ‘gold rush.’ New drilling is taking place at near record levels and the Atacama 1, 2 and 3 properties are in the middle of all this activity.”
