USPR Provides Drilling Update and Releases Assay Results on Initial 11 Drill Holes from Its 2015 Drilling Campaign

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 9, 2015 / U.S. Precious Metals, Inc. (OTCQB:USPR) announces that it has completed 25 drill holes (approximately 4,300 meters) to date under its 2015 drilling campaign. Based on existing hole depths, the Company expects to drill a total of 30 holes in this campaign to reach 5,000 meters. The drilling campaign focused on definition drilling of locations on the Main Zone and the Southern extension areas as well as extending the Main Zone towards the North Zone.

Drilling Update:

– Holes 1 through 8 have extended the Main Zone towards the North Zone. While we have not drilled any holes in the North Zone to date, the North Zone exhibits an exposed quartz sulfide vein system that runs in the direction of the Main Zone. In addition, we have grab samples from the North Zone indicating results as high as 36g/t Au. The North Zone is located on an adjacent low-lying mountain separated by a wash area, which may be ideally suited for placer mining. Based on our current drill results and the exposed vein system, we believe that the Main Zone is geologically connected to the North Zone, which is a distance of approximately 500 meters peak to peak.

– Holes 9-11 were located in the northern end of the Southern extension and further expand the results in this area from the 2008 and 2010 drilling campaigns. The Southern extension also exhibits an exposed quartz sulfide vein system that runs in the direction of the Main Zone. The Southern extension is located on an adjacent low-lying mountain, also separated by a wash area having placer mining potential.

– Holes 12-30 are designed to further expand the results in the southern portion of the Main Zone. The Company undertook significant road work in order to reach these drill sites. 

Summary Results:

The Company has received the independent assay results from ACT Labs, Zacatecas, Mexico (unrelated to ACT Holdings, a US company, our drilling operator) for the initial 11 cores. All 11 holes successfully intersected mineralization with numerous quartz sulfide veins.

Holes 1 through 8 assay results demonstrate grades up to 39g/t Au, 60g/t Ag and 2.84% Cu. Key intercepts from each hole are as follows:

Holes 9 through 11 assay results demonstrate extremely high grades of Au, Ag and Cu values, with grades up to 31.06 g/t Au, 864g/t Ag and 5.35% Cu. Significant mineralization also was intersected by core drilling in 2008 and 2010 from this same location. Key intercepts from each hole are as follows:

Additional Information:

The core samples for holes 12 to 25 are in various stages of being logged and assayed by ACT Labs. Once results have been received and processed by the Company, we will provide the results to shareholders.

Mr. Dave Burney, the Company’s Chief Geologist, stated “we are extremely pleased with the results to date as they far exceed the results from the prior two drilling campaigns.” Mr. Burney further stated, “it is important to note that these results have been arrived at relatively shallow depths between 150 to 200 meters.”
