[ACCESSWIRE]
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 1, 2015 / U.S. Precious Metals, Inc. (OTCQB: USPR) announces that it has received additional assays from its 2015 drilling campaign. The assays for the five holes 18-22 continue to show high values of Gold, Silver and Copper with wide intercepts in multiple locations.
Of particular importance were Holes 21 and 22 which were drilled in the "Main Zone" 50m apart with the same 60 degree orientation. These holes were drilled to 273 meters and 182 meters respectively. Hole 21 showed grades up to 13.46g Au, 139.31g, Ag and 7.29% Cu, with Hole 22 showing grades up to 20.29g Au, 52.3g Ag and 1.48% Cu. The 7.5 meter intercept in Hole 21 and the 10.45 meter intercept in Hole 22 were at depths of 52 meters and 31 meters, respectively. The weighted average results of Au g/t in Hole 22 over 10.4 meters (or over 34 feet) represents our highest concentration of Au g/t in any our drilling program to date showing 6.75g/t.
Hole number 18 was drilled in the area known as "The Old Mine Zone" to a depth of 93 meters. The assays report high silver and copper and ore grade gold over a width 9.8 meters. The silver values showed a high of 204.61g with a copper value of 7.3%.
Hole 19 and 20 were drilled on the "Main Zone." Both of these drill holes hit high gold, silver and copper values which are in keeping with mineralogy of the area. Hole 19 grade highlights are 30.51g Au, 131.15g Ag and 3.32% Cu. Hole 20 grade highlights are 25.47g Au, 131.15g Ag and 6.2% Cu.
In the future, the Company will not only provide grade highlights from the various "Drill Holes," but will also provide grams per meter (g/m) as well as weighted averages where appropriate.
