Step-out holes: Expanding the Capitan Zone FootprintDrillholes 21-CARC-30, 31, and 32 were designed to expand Hanging wall style and Capitan Style, oxide mineralization down-dip along section lines 550, 100, and 450 respectively (see Figure 1). All drillholes successfully intersected both Hanging Wall style and Capitan style mineralization, extending both zones between 70 and 170m down-dip, along section. Additionally, all holes intersected and extended the oxide gold envelope down-dip, with sulphide mineralization only being reached towards the termination of holes 21-CARC-30 and 31 (see Figure 2a). The best results intersected include 29m of 0.55g/t Aueq within a continuous interval of 187.5m grading 0.24 g/t Aueq in hole 21-CARC-31, and 41.1m of 0.31 g/t Aueq in hole 21-CARC-32, both coming from the Capitan Main Zone.
