- 15 Drill holes encountered consistent and multiple intercepts of widespread silver mineralization.
- 149 g/t silver over 10.5 meters.
- 108 g/t silver over 16.5 meters.
- Silver mineralization has now been extended from the 43-101 Pit Discovery Zone towards the North East Zone a further 200 meters, remaining open in three directions.
- A second diamond drill rig that will run concurrent to its RC drilling program, to test the deposit at depth.
“Our goal from the outset of the current 10,000 meter drill program has been to expand silver mineralization outside of the existing 43-101 Pit resource. We are very pleased and excited with results from the current 15 holes. Not only have we dramatically extended silver mineralization to the NE and SW of the Discovery Zone, we are achieving consistent grades and continuity within areas of widespread silver mineralization not yet calculated into the current 43-101 resource. Adding a second diamond drill rig will allow us to drill test a host of existing holes at depth that bottomed out in mineralization, which is expected to play a major factor in further boosting the size of our growing silver resource at Promontorio”.
