Notably, holes SPT1_4 and SPT1_5, located at the southern limit of the drilling area, intersected an average of 86 g/t gallium. Within the first 8 meters, SPT1_4 returned an impressive average of 141 g/t gallium, while SPT1_5 averaged 115 g/t, indicating a strong enrichment near the surface. Based on these results, we anticipate that gallium grades will continue to increase further south.\"\n \n\n\n\n \"In the central part of the drilled area, we encountered thicker layers of copper-silver-gold (Cu-Ag-Au) tailings. The highest grades recorded in this Ag-Zn-Pb tailings area reached 0.62% Cu, 1.34 g/t gold, and 168 g/t silver. These results suggest that the intersected copper-bearing material correlates with a later phase of copper mining associated with the open-pit, rather than the primary underground high-grade copper zone, which is located further south, and planned for future drilling.\"\n \n\n\n\n Highlights -\n \n All intersections are in core lengths from surface and correspond to the predominant silver-zinc-lead zone in the northern section of the Quiulacocha deposit:\n \n\n\n Hole\n \n SPT1_4\n \n intersected 25 meters (“m”) at 53 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver, 1.46% zinc (“Zn”), 1.22% Lead (“Pb”), and 92 g/t gallium (“Ga”)\n \n\n Hole\n \n SPT1_5\n \n intersected 25 m at 54 g/t Ag, 1.65% Zn, 1.23% Pb, and 80 g/t Ga\n \n\n Hole\n \n SPT0...
