Quimbaya Gold Inc. (CSE: QIM | OTCQB: QIMGF | FSE: K05) has announced promising high-grade gold and silver results from surface exploration at its Tahami South Project, located in the heart of Colombia’s renowned Segovia-Zaragoza gold belt. Rock samples returned assays of up to 11.21 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 23.3 g/t silver (Ag), supporting the company’s interpretation of a robust epithermal system with significant discovery potential.
The 2,023-hectare project is strategically situated just 1.8 kilometers northeast of Aris Mining’s Segovia operations, which boast over 13.8 million ounces of gold resources. With multiple surface samples exceeding 1 g/t Au and the presence of key pathfinder elements such as arsenic, antimony, copper, lead, and zinc, the early results from Quimbaya Gold point to a fertile mineralized system consistent with the region’s most productive structures.
“Tahami South exhibits all the essential hallmarks of a fertile gold system at the reconnaissance stage,” said Dr. Stewart D. Redwood, Economic Geologist and SEG Fellow. “These are the types of indicators that have preceded many of Colombia's most significant discoveries.”
Quimbaya Gold’s exploration methodology combines geological mapping, LiDAR analysis, and comprehensive geochemical sampling—an approach that has proven successful in uncovering major gold systems in Antioquia over the last five decades. The company collected 60 rock samples across 144 hectares of jungle terrain, identifying a northeast- and east-west-trending quartz vein system within andesitic and intrusive host rocks. These features are interpreted as part of an intermediate-sulfidation epithermal system with the potential for multiple mineralized shoots.
“Everything we're seeing tells us we may be sitting on something significant,” said Alexandre P. Boivin, President & CEO of Quimbaya Gold. “This foundation gives us strong conviction heading into our upcoming drill campaign.”
The company’s maiden drill program is scheduled for Q2 2025, aiming to test high-priority targets refined through geochemical vectoring and structural mapping. The alignment of pathfinder anomalies with key structural intersections has helped define areas with the highest potential for mineralization.
Tahami South is Quimbaya’s flagship project, located in a region with a rich history of gold production and exceptional geological endowment. The project lies within a structural corridor known to host high-grade epithermal veins and is being advanced as a potential district-scale discovery.
