  "account": "Luca Mining's exploratory drilling at its Campo Morado mine in Mexico's Guerrero State has revealed promising resource potential. In the unmined Largo Norte zone, a hole named CMUG-26-50 yielded 184 metres of 1.18 g/t gold, 72.42 g/t silver, 0.39% copper, 0.45% lead and 1.67% zinc from 3.6 metres downhole. Other significant findings include 18 metres of 2.64 g/t gold, 152.34 g/t silver, 0.53% copper, 1.05% lead and 2.52% zinc from 12 metres depth.\n\nNational Bank mining analyst Alex Terentiew stated that the results are \"supportive of further resource growth at Campo Morado.\" The mine, producing underground with a capacity of 2,500 tonnes per day, hosts multiple sulphide lenses and has been explored with over 700 historical drill holes. The current drill campaign, totaling $25 million, aims to extend known mineralization within 80,000 metres of underground and surface drilling.\n\nLuca is targeting high-grade and broader, slightly lower-grade gold- and silver-rich polymetallic mineralization in adjacent unmined zones. With these results, the company sees resource growth as well-suited to increase production tonnes, support flexibility, and extend mine life prior to the anticipated expansion update.",
  "summary": "Luca Mining has identified potential resource growth at its Campo Morado polymetallic mine in Mexico’s Guerrero State, with new drilling results hinting at the possibility of extending mine life. Standout hole CMUG-26-50 in the unmined Largo Norte zone produced 184 metres of 1.18 grams gold per tonne, 72.42 grams silver, 0.39% copper, 0.45% lead, and 1.67% zinc from 3.6 metres downhole. This includes 18 metres of 2.64 grams gold, 152.34 grams silver, 0.53% copper, 1.05% lead, and 2.52% zinc from about 12 metres depth. Analysts remain supportive of further resource growth at the mine, with the current drill campaign contributing to the strategy of extending known mineralization in adjacent zones.",
