"We are very encouraged at this early stage to see the Esperanza structure is returning very wide intercepts of quartz vein and breccia that appear to reflect a NW-plunging mineralized zone," said Dan MacInnis, President and CEO of MAG Silver. "This confirms our initial premise that this particular structure can host significant mineralization over very favorable widths. We have traced the Esperanza structure on surface for almost 5 kilometres but have drilled a mere 100 metres from previous drilling so far. Mineralization is still open in all directions and lateral offsets of the current holes are planned for drilling in 2012 to determine the continuity and tenor of mineralization."
