San Marco Resources is a Canadian mineral exploration company actively pursuing world class gold, silver, zinc and copper projects with a focus in mining friendly jurisdictions in both British Columbia, Canada, and Mexico. The Company’s principal focus and asset is the recently optioned Buck Property in north-central British Columbia that has large tonnage gold-silver-zinc potential in a mining-friendly region that includes many former and currently operating mines. In addition, the Company’s portfolio includes the several prospective, early stage exploration properties in Mexico.
Buck Property: Located 15 km south of Houston, British Columbia, the Buck Property is a bulk tonnage gold/silver/zinc exploration target believed to be a large, altered breccia system. Historical exploration activities included drilling, sampling, as well as ground and airborne geophysics, meaning the company won't be starting from scratch.
The Buck property is located in a mining friendly jurisdiction that will support year-round exploration. Likewise, the project has excellent road access allowing support to drilling and processing operations.
The company’s geologists have compiled data and generated a 3-D model of historical drill assays. The analysed data indicates the presence of a large, altered breccia system with widespread gold, silver, and zinc mineralization. The surface footprint of the mineralization is over an area approximately 700 m by 300 m with mineralized breccia also known to exist up to 200 m in depth. Alongside this surface area, multiple unexplored target areas are also located within the claim group.
According to San Marco Resources Executive Director, Bob Willis, “the Buck gold/silver/zinc project provides an excellent opportunity to generate significant shareholder value once drilling operations commence”.
