South American Silver (sac-t) has released a first resource estimate on its wholly owned Escalones copper-gold-silver project in Central Chile. Escalones is estimated to contain 420.6 million tonnes grading 0.41% copper, 61.39 parts per million molybdenum, 0.05 gram gold per tonne and 1.24 grams silver per tonne for 0.49% copper equivalent, all based on a 0.2% copper-equivalent cut-off. The values translate to contained metal totals of 3.8 billion lbs. copper, 56.9 million lbs. molybdenum, 610,000 oz. gold and 16.8 million oz. silver.
