The three new holes are part of a 15,000-metre drilling campaign design to confirm the presence of continuous mineralization from the A zone to the CRK zone, over a strike of 3 km. The drilling began at A zone to follow up on the southeast extension of gold- and base metal-rich mineralized zones intersected in 2020. Drilling will then move to the CRK zone to follow up on the high-grade gold Joe structure.
The latest assay results have confirmed the continuity of the A zone to the southwest by 160 metres since the previous exploration update, and intercepted the stacked gold- and zinc-rich epithermal and orogenic gold veins, within a 65-metre-thick mineralized zone of the southwestern extension of the A zone.
Of particular interest was drill hole LBX22-060, which intersected 8.4 metres (6.7 metres true width) at 0.62 g/t gold, 3.05% zinc and 0.15% copper, including 1.0 metre (0.8 metre true width) at 0.61g/t gold, 4.27%…
