Their records also show that Crown Point Mines historically worked on vein systems with reported in-situ grades of up to 80 ounces per ton silver and 65% lead, from which 3,000 tons of ore was direct shipped at that grade.The Crown Point/Silver King Mines closed in 1940 with total production of 116,906 tons averaging 12 ounces per ton silver and 11.3% lead.Following completion of the access roads to the first drill pads on the Crown Point structure, Bayhorse has mobilized its drill rig. The first drill target is a pair of parallel silver/zinc/lead veins at the historic Crown Point Mine, and approximately 300 feet to the south, the parallel Shea structure.Historic Bunker Hill mining records report a 30 foot mineralized intersection made in 1936 by an underground drill hole from the 200 foot level at the Crown Point workings, into the parallel wall Shea zone, that was never followed up.Graeme O'Neill, President & CEO, stated: \"Despite being sandwiched between two past producing mines, due to claim boundary issues between Bunker Hill Mining and ASARCO, and the subsequent transfer of the property to the EPA, the Bridging The Gap mines have remained unavailable for exploration and development for the past 76 years. We are very pleased to be heading our second round of exploration on the Project.\"Up...
