Retrieved on: 
Monday, November 28, 2022

The Company has now completed 43 drill holes (28,119 m of drilling) in its 2021-2022 North Zone drilling confirming good grade mineralization along 1,700 m of strike, demonstrating a westward dipping panel with consistent grades down-dip to about 400-500 m depth below the ridge, bottoming about sea level.

Key Points: 
  • The Company has now completed 43 drill holes (28,119 m of drilling) in its 2021-2022 North Zone drilling confirming good grade mineralization along 1,700 m of strike, demonstrating a westward dipping panel with consistent grades down-dip to about 400-500 m depth below the ridge, bottoming about sea level.
  • Importantly, the drill program has confirmed and expanded a zone of shallow-seated higher-grade mineralization extending down the central spine of the North Zone that is amenable to early year, low strip, open pit mining and delineated a mineralized hanging wall zone to the west of the Gradeshell that comes close to surface under the Santo Tomas ridge.
  • The Companys 2022 South Zone drill program includes 18 holes that are expected to be completed by the end of November, with 13 holes (7,964 m of drilling) completed to date.

Drill Holes N015 to N018 test the North Zone deposit perpendicular to its structural attitude.

Key Points: 
  • Drill Holes N015 to N018 test the North Zone deposit perpendicular to its structural attitude.
  • Assay results and cross-sections through the first eighteen North Zone drill holes (13,343 m of drilling) are available at the Companys website .
  • In context, the results of N017 at the current southern extremity of the North Zone drill program, N018 at the center, and N016 at the northern end, demonstrate newly discovered shallow-seated mineralization located westward and in the hanging wall of the main North Zone deposit, indicating a broader North Zone deposit extending further westward and much closer to surface than previously modelled.
  • Definition drilling of newly discovered shallow-seated mineralization located westward and in the hanging wall of the main North Zone deposit.
