The four holes drilled to date have all intercepted sulphidic quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets beneath mineralization mapped in underground workings. Mineralization is open in all directions and the next phase of drilling will initially target the southern and northern strike extensions of the system. The system remains open at depth. It is anticipated that the first batch of samples will be dispatched to ALS this week and assays are expected approximately 6 weeks after.\"\n \n \n \n The initial holes are targeting down dip extensions of historically mined veins at La Escarcha open pit, aiming to confirm high-grade gold mineralization beneath the extent of historic mining (ie. below 60 mete...
