According to the company, the Arista deposit, which remains open both laterally and at depth, is a polymetallic epithermal vein system consisting of multiple en echelon veins.
Mineralization has previously been drilled over 500m of lateral extent and 500m of vertical extent.
The company said that mine development work at the deposit to date is within the upper part of the mineralized system with Level 7 being only 54m of vertical extent from the top of the deposit.
Level 7 mine development confirms two strong veins that fit with the company’s deposit model representing the Baja and Arista veins.
The Arista vein exposed in the crosscut on Level 7 has a vein width of about four meters, the company said.
