U.S. Precious Metals, Inc. (OTCMKTS:USPR) has been building up on the excitement of its newly acquired 37,000-acre property in Mexico. There is evidence of large mineral deposits in the area, with copper floats and gold deposits visible on the ground. As per the recent updates from the company USPR has completed 15-drill holes in the area, with a cumulative depth of 2500-meters. The mineral extraction from these holes has been encouraging and the current holes are also under analysis from an independent mineral lab.
One of the geologists from USPR, David Burney, revealed that the apart from the gold and copper, the area has large deposits of Bornite, Pyrite and Chalcopyrite. However, he stated that they are still awaiting the third party lab results to confirm their observations. As the drilling operations continue, USPR expects to find even larger reserves in the property.
