Earlier testwork reported good recoveries of gold and silver to a sulphide concentrate. Diamond drillhole BC 993 was drilled to test the mineralised structures well below the depth of previous drilling and intersected mineralisation 250 metres down dip from surface and visually similar to that previously drilled. As is common for high grade gold mineralization grades can be quite variable and the presence of gold at depth in BC 993 is very encouraging.More than 2 kilometers of the mapped strike of the vein system remains untested. The high grade zone, with an average width of 2 metres, has now been traced over nearly 1000 metres and up to 150 metres down dip from surface. The high grade zone remains open at depth.Results from the three diamond drillholes are listed in the table below using a cut-off grade of 3 g/t gold:Breznik Drillhole Results(using a cut-off grade of 3 g/t gold)---------------------------------------------------------------------DH ID From (m) length (m) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BC 991 43.3 2 19.94 23-------------------------------------------------------47.3 2.8 12.43 3.9---------------------------------------------------------------------BC 992 36.2 1 43.00 12---------------------------------------------------------------------BC 993 216.1 1.1 3.01 76------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Diamond drillhole BC 993 intersected a wide zone of elevated lead and zinc mineralisation. Within this zone BC 993 intersected 1.1 metres at 3.01 g/t gold, 76 g/t silver, 1.5% copper, 4.0% lead and 1.4% zinc from 216.1 meters.Many of the more than 100 drillholes on the property, reported high grade intercepts between 3.0 g/t and 54 g/t gold...
