Or the least likely option - tell the truth:

Quick San Acacio Time line:
- 31st October 2017 - commencement of 5,000m drill program (link)
- 28th Feb, 2018 - Identifies a Large target (link) - PDAC promo PR
- Prelim results from first 2000m of drilling - hit anomalous silver (i.e. nothing).
- Here we sit 174 days later, no results....
By my estimates, Defiance should have drilled ~3000m by now, so 60% of the program done, and no assays reported, might as well wait until the end of the program, and release a phase 1 summary PR....
San Acacio is a retread, Silver Standard to Sterling Mining (went bankrupt) to Source Exploration (now Mexican Gold) to Defiance and still it doesn't have anything worth anything. How Defiance can have a C$40 million market cap is beyond me. A true POS project.
ReplyDeleteThe deposit isn't good enough, Sterling Mining used to mine the back-fill and process it at their Barones Tailings facility a few KM away. Source didn't really do anything, a few underground drill-holes, and a similar story with Defiance.
DeleteWhat is funny is that next door (the NW continuation of the vein), Santacruz are doing a great job at being useless and loosing huge amounts of money at Contracuna.
Unfortunately, none of them, since Silver Standard, have actually done a proper job at San Acacio, probably because the remnants of the Veta Grande are crap. They could do a couple of holes into the other splay veins on the property as Endeavour seem to be getting some decent results from the Calicanto vein system, that is a splay off the main Cantera vein.
