Silver Spruce and Colibri Resource Initiate 2024 Drilling at Diamante Project in Sonora, Mexico

Silver Spruce Resources Inc., in collaboration with Colibri Resource Corp., announced the commencement of a new drilling campaign at the El Pillado polymetallic target within the Diamante Au-Ag project in Sonora, Mexico. This program aims to deepen and expand the understanding of mineral potential following encouraging outcomes from exploration efforts in 2022 and 2023. The drilling operation includes 10 holes covering 1,050 meters, focusing on both new and previously surveyed zones.

The Diamante project, which spans 1,057 hectares, is primarily positioned for its high-grade precious metal content and base metals. The site is near Tepoca and relatively close to the state capital, Hermosillo. Addressing the logistic needs for exploration, the project area is accessible via state Highway 16, supplemented by local roads and trails. Early exercises have identified various targets across the twin concessions of the property, which historically include artisanal mining endeavors but lacked modern drilling before these initiatives.

With the technical support provided by Diamond Drills Mexico S.A. de C.V., the initial phases of drilling have started with favorable core recovery, setting the stage for potentially beneficial exploratory results. The spatial arrangement of drilling targets has been informed by comprehensive geological and geophysical evaluations, pinpointing areas with enhanced potential for mineral discovery.
