The Pasofino release stated that a six-kilometre long gold in soil ‘trend’ extending south-westwards ‘on-strike’ from the two million ounce Tuzon deposit was recognised in January 2021.
Three ‘first pass’ trenches were completed in February 2021 to test the trend, with all three returning abnormal gold results – up to 2 grammes per tonne gold in bedrock and an interval of 36 m grading 0.6 g/t.
Pasofino stated that at the west end of the trend, two trenches, dating from 2011, have not been drill-tested, despite including a best interval of 26 m grading 0.79 g/t.

Dan Betts, CEO of Hummingbird Resources, commented: “We are encouraged by the trench results received at the Tuzon deposit, where initial results show potential for additional discoveries close to the existing deposit.”
