The Montreal-based explorer said Wednesday that hole PEX-22-118 had intersected 1.7% copper-equivalent, comprising 0.92% copper, 1.6% zinc, 0.08 grams gold per tonne and 12.26 grams silver per tonne over 14.8 metres of core length, from 480 metres depth. The hole also returned a higher-grade interval of 3.58% copper-equivalent, entailing 3.1% copper, 0.32% zinc, 0.19 grams gold per tonne and 28.8 grams silver per tonne over 3.6 metres.
