Project Summary:
Sandra Escobar is located 200 km northwest of the city of Durango, Mexico, in the heart of the “Mexican Silver Trend”, with excellent access and infrastructure. This prolific trend hosts some of the world’s largest silver camps and deposits, with many past and present producing mines and significant silver-gold deposits. The project area hosts multiple mineralized epithermal quartz veins and breccia structures. These veins and structures form high level silver-gold-base metal systems, hosted in andesitic and rhyolitic rocks, and are centered on a large rhyolite dome complex in the north and silver-dominant systems around smaller rhyolite dome complexes to the southeast.
The silver, gold and base metal mineralized system observed at Sandra-Escobar is indicative of a potentially large gold-silver system, similar to other large deposits associated with altered intrusive complexes, such as La Pitarrilla, El Cairo and San Agustin, located within this well-recognized mineral trend in Durango State. In June 2019 Canasil sold its interest in the Sandra-Escobar project to Pan American Silver subject to a retained 2% NSR royalty interest.
