en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian mining company Xali Gold has announced the completion of its initial rock sampling program at the Pico Machay gold project in Peru. The sampling covered surface and underground workings, with a total of 197 samples collected, including 78 from underground and 119 from surface outcrops.
The sampling scope involved multiple surface areas within and around the historical resource zone. All samples have been sent to a professional laboratory for analysis of gold, silver, and other element content, with results expected within the coming weeks. Xali Gold stated that the data obtained will be used to validate historical data, deepen geological understanding of the deposit, and support subsequent mineral resource updates and a new preliminary economic assessment (PEA).
The company noted that this is the first systematic sampling conducted within the historical resource area of the project. The sampling work involved multiple horizontal tunnels and other mining workings previously explored during earlier exploration campaigns. Xali Gold President and CEO Joanne Freeze stated that the underground and surface sampling program aims to validate historical data, enhance understanding of mineralization geometry and continuity, and advance resource updates, PEA, and development studies. These initiatives are systematically reducing technical uncertainties of the project, positioning Pico Machay as a near-term gold development opportunity in Peru.
With the completion of this field work, Xali Gold continues to advance the evaluation of the Pico Machay project. The project is regarded as one of the gold projects with growth potential in central Peru. The company looks forward to laboratory results and subsequent technical studies to determine the next steps in the work plan.
