Central Sun Mining has announced results for its Limon mine.

Around 14 holes have been drilled in the area, totalling 4,441 metres as part of a 10,000 metre programme.

Of the deposits in the area, the Santa Pancha has a reserve grade of around 5.6 g/t of gold and is being mined at the 100 metre level. It has the highest grade of gold in the Limon mine region.

Other significant results from the Limon mine include 8.76 g/t of gold across 15.4 metres, 6.7 g/t of gold across 6.6 metres and 7.43 g/t of gold across 3.8 metres.

Peter Tagliamonte, president and chief executive officer of Central Sun Mining, said: "With the ongoing exploration program we are confident in our ability to define this new discovery and to grow it into a considerably larger production base for the Limon Mine."

The company has also identified new zones at the Orosi mine. Around 7,140 metres of drilling in 40 holes have so far been completed at the site as part of 10,000 metres which have been planned.

Both the Orosi and Limon mine are based in Nicaragua.
