Introduction
The 2700-hectare Jama epithermal Au-Ag project is situated in the mining-friendly province of Jujuy in northern Argentina, beside the paved international highway #52 connecting Argentina and Chile some 400 km northwest of the city of Salta and approximately 55km from the Chilean border at Paso de Jama.
At elevations ranging from 3900 to 4200m above sea level, the Jama project covers a large 4 sq km bulk tonnage gold-silver target underlain by Tertiary dacite intrusive and andesites within Ordovician sediments.
To date, several breccias, possibly structurally controlled, have been identified on the property. These include intense argillic and advanced argillic (quartz-kaolinite and quartz-alunite) alteration zones with abundant vuggy and granular silica.
The argillic and advanced argillic alteration at Jama trends NNE-SSW and may be structurally controlled, with jarosite-goethite limonites and jasper-chalcedony.
Previous sampling by Fabricaciones Militares (the government armed forces) and the local Jujuy provincial geological survey in the 1980s and 1990s returned anomalous gold values of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.2 g/t Au and 8 to 110 g/t Ag.
The Jama high sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag target has never undergone modern-day exploration nor been drill-tested. Based on the location, geology, and previously limited sampling, it is considered to be an attractive bulk tonnage precious metals target.
