Minera IRL Commences Drilling on the Michelle Exploration Project
22 August 2011: Minera IRL, the Latin American gold mining company, has commenced a 4,000 mtrs exploration diamond drilling program at the Michelle Project in Patagonia, Argentina.
Minera IRL has identified approximately 22 km of cumulative vein strike length on its 143 square kilometer Michelle Project. Many veins can be traced at surface from AngloGold Ashanti majority owned multi-million ounce Cerro Vanguardia gold-silver mine into Minera IRL's property which shares a common lease boundary. The closest Cerro Vanguardia open pit operation is only 6.5 km from the Michelle vein field. Numerous vein occurrences on the Minera IRL ground are gold and silver bearing with classic low sulphidation epithermal textures that indicate significant depth potential.
