These are samples from veins identified within the top 300 metres of the first drill hole, SQ23-079. Assays results are pending from the lower part of the hole, as are assays from eight additional drill holes completed as part of this first phase of the 2023 exploration program on the property.Drill highlights Include:a shallow 1.2 metre interval grading 1.0g/t Au, 42g/t Ag, 1.3% Pb and 7.0% Zn (5.6g/t AuEq or 460g/t AgEq) within a 2.6 metre interval averaging 0.6g/t Au, 30g/t Ag, 1.1% Pb and 4.3% Zn (3.6g/t AuEq or 291g/t AgEq) from drillhole SQ22-079; andA deeper 0.3 metre interval (est. TT) grading 0.1g/t Au, 1,462g/t Ag, 2.8% Pb and 0.7% Zn (19.3g/t AuEq or 1,581g/t AgEq) within a 2.1 metre interval averaging 0.1g/t Au, 308g/t Ag, 1.3% Pb and 2.2% Zn (5.5g/t AuEq or 446g/t AgEq) from drillhole SQ22-079.Drill hole SQ23-079 tested a down-dip step-out from the previously reported intercepts in drill hole SQ22-078 (see in NR-10-22; Sept 8, 2022), which returned 5.2m (est. TT) averaging 778g/t AgEq and 6.8m (est. TT) averaging 166g/t AgEq. Drilling confirmed the vertical projection of these two silver-enriched polymetallic veins and identified a previously unrecognized shallow vein located roughly 100 metres to the north of the targeted vein set. The shallow vein was identified within 30 metres of surface and is a new target for follow up drill testing.Drilling in the current exploration program has now tested westward strike extensions of the Camp Target veins and down-dip off-sets. In addition, drilling has started to test extensions of the Sveinson vein set, located approximately 600 metres to the east. Additional assays are anticipated over the coming weeks. Drilling will now pause for several weeks while surface work continues on the property. Up to 1400 soils samples are planned over an area of approximate 6 sq. km. in order t...
