I was reading about the worker killed in Starcore's (SAM) San Martin mine I glanced thru some previous news reports.
The May 11th release reports the following. Keep in mind analysis was done at the company lab. Not saying they are in error but I would much rather see the results done through an independent facility. By any standard these grades are stellar to say the least. Report says width but depth or azimuth is not declared.
"Vancouver, B.C. – Starcore International Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) announces that it has completed drill hole 31-79 in area 31 at its San Martin Mine in Queretaro, Mexico. This hole intercepted a zone of limestone breccia followed by manto mineralization. High grade manto mineralization with visible gold was recovered between 48.65 and 58.9 meters. The weighted average grade of this 10.25 meter wide intercept is 65.17 g/t gold with 128.26 g/t silver. Prior to the high grade intercept the limestone breccia contained elevated silver values over 10 meters including a 2 meter section grading 1.60 g/t Au and 105 g/t Ag between 42.25 and 44.25 meters.

The intercept is within 15 meters of existing workings. Mining crews are expected to arrive at this drill hole intercept some time this week in order to evaluate the dimensions of the mineralization.

Drill core is assayed on site in a laboratory that successfully reconciles doré and plant samples. Assay values within the intercept have not been cut. Within this intersection, 7 of the 13 samples graded over 25 grams per tonne gold and numerous pieces of core were seen to contain visible gold. The manto mineralization at San Martin has produced samples of this grade in the past.

“This is the best drill hole in our history at the mine”, said Robert Eadie, President and CEO of Starcore."
