Diablillos — epithermal gold-silver, Salta

Diablillos was the centerpiece story on the 1990s Pacific Rim site: an epithermal gold-silver system at high elevation with road access from Salta, prior BHP work, and later Barrick-linked drilling that the company’s news page tracked hole by hole.

Period text emphasized disseminated gold-silver in silicified and argillized zones (Corderos, Pedernales, Laderas, Oculto), oxidation favorable to heap-leach thinking, and twinning of BHP hole DAR-45 by Pacific Rim DD93-1 with strong reported intervals. Read those figures as historical disclosure, not a current resource estimate.
