Kilmurry is a seismic-defined structural and stratigraphic target mapped over >10 kilometres strike and 2 kilometres width (Figure 3). The hanging wall of the fault, that is an equivalent setting to all zinc mineralization in the Irish Midlands, has never been drill tested. Drilling will recommence at Kilmurry within the next 2 months once drill permitting is complete; The three holes completed at Ballyhickey were drilled on broad 300 - 1,300 metre spacings along a seismic defined structure, up-dip from an historic Victorian-age base metal mine. Although assays have not yet been received, drill holes did not intersect prospective geological features or visible mineralization.Michael Hudson, Chairman and CEO states, \"Kilmurry is a compelling target that has all the right ingredients for a major base metal system. Our on-going seismic interpretation recently identified a major syn-sedimentary structure, that we were excited to find had no prior drill testing, but nearby holes included widespread anomalous zinc and lead and a thin massive sulphide interval. Now that we have downgraded the prospectivity of the Ballyhickey prospect with three holes, our drill priorities for the new year now move to Kilmurry, where the scale of untested fault a...
