Update

Management at Advance Gold (AAX) decided not to drill the provided Stargate target. It appears they chose a different route following a subsequent unsuccessful drill program on the property. ESSCO sincerely wishes the team well in all future endeavours. ESSCO provided drill target data to the Advance Gold (AAX) management team for their highly prospective silver property in Mexico. Additional details regarding exploration plans were expected to follow via an official news release.

Using its database from earlier area surveys, Stargate 3 (SG3) identified principal structural traces (mineral feeder systems / faults) on the Tabasquena claims. This interpretation aligns with the company’s exploration work. SG3 is also capable of providing targeting data to significant depths — in this case, to approximately 2,800 m.
