DDH WD-26-07 was collared in the southwest, at the edge of our drill pattern (oriented at 325°, angled -53° below horizontal), to a depth of 224 meters and successfully intersected two (2) distinct VMS Zones consisting of sulphide lens carrying copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold, with assays increasing with depth. The Upper Zone 1 is from (80.15m - 90.00m) 9.85m. The Lower Zone 2 is from (105m - 138m) 33.0m. Combined, it represents a very good width of 42.85m total mineralization. The drill core consisted of massive pyritic VMS with locally visible chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. Host rocks included both felsic volcanics and sediments. The upper zone is characteristic with high grade Silver & Zinc and the Lower Zone Copper, with Silver and Gold.
