A summary of the results is set out below and the results of laboratory analysis are set out in Table 1:\n \n ·\n Hole 4 intercepted a 7.62 metre zone from 4.57 metres in the hole grading at 180.94 g/t silver and 0.315 g/t gold, contained within which is a high-grade silver zone hosted in quartz vein of 3.04 m at 418.00 g/t silver and 0.554 g/t gold, st...
