Results of the two discovery holes, of which drill hole TC-2638-4 was reported on in November 2007, are shown in Table 1 below.\n\nTable 1: Drill Results from Stonepark Zinc Discovery\n\n\n\n\nHole ID\n\n\nHole Angle (degrees)\n\n\nFrom (m)\n\n\nTo (m)\n\n\nThick-\nness (m)\n\n\nEstimated True Thickness (m)\n\n\nZn (%)\n\n\nPb (%)\n\n\n\n\nTC-2638-4\n\n\n-90\n\n\n372.75\n\n\n374.05\n\n\n1.30\n\n\n1.30\n\n\n6.85\n\n\n0.3\n\n\n\n\nTC-2638-4\n\n\n-90\n\n\n374.05\n\n\n376.1\n\n\n2.05\n\n\n2.05\n\n\n0.3\n\n\n<0.05\n\n\n\n\nTC-2638-4\n\n\n-90\n\n\n376.1\n\n\n380.1\n\n\n4.00\n\n\n4.00\n\n\n11.62\n\n\n3.46\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\nincluding:\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nTC-2638-4\n\n\n-90\n\n\n378.95\n\n\n380.1\n\n\n1.15\n\n\n \n\n\n28.61\n\n\n4.17\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nTC-2638-7\n\n\n-76\n\n\n394.85\n\n\n410.2\n\n\n15.35\n\n\n14.9\n\n\n3.25\n\n\n0.33\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\ninc...
