The company said the 2023 drill program successfully targeted high-priority areas in two mineralized lenses, Zone 1 and Zone 2-3, which together make up the South Wall zone of the Palmer deposit.
The final batch of assays consisted of 13 drill holes completed in three separate zones. Among them were the four most significant copper drill intersections reported to date at Palmer, along with significant zinc, gold and silver results.
The best two were: 43.8 metres grading 6.54% copper, 3.15% zinc, 0.42 g/t gold and 27.97 g/t silver; and 23.9 m grading 9.03% copper, 3.49% zinc, 0.83 g/t gold and 41.75 g/t silver, both drilled in Zone 1. The highlight result from Zone 2-3 was 39.8 metres grading 1.11% copper, 4.34% zinc, 0.45 g/t gold and 32.45 g/t silver.
“The final assay results from Palmer’s 2023 resource definition drilling have exceeded expectations with tremendous copper grades and aggregate metals values over significant…
