Raven Gold Corporation has announced that it has commissioned a phase I exploration programme at the Mexican site of La Currita.

La Currita, in Temoris, Mexico, is a gold and silver project and covers 78 hectares, according to the company. It was in production from 1983 to 1998.

A ten-metre area known as the Suleima vein has been partially mined and explored and it is hoped through underground drilling as part of the exploration programme, the full width of the mineralisation zone can be determined.

Geological mapping, geochemical soil and rock chip sampling, as well as geophysics and pitting of anomalous areas will all form part of the surface exploration work. Line cutting and survey control will also take place.

According to the company's website, the mission of Raven Gold Corporation is to become the "leading gold exploration and development company" in the Mexico region.

Last month the company announced the appointment of a new director, with Francis D A Forbes III joining the board.
