The Kilbricken deposit forms a strong geochemical signature at surface and the geochemical surveys were undertaken to search for new anomalies in a similar geological setting to that of Kilbricken. In combination with other geological data, these new anomalous soil areas are considered immediate high priority drill targets.  \n\n\n \n \n\n \nKey Points:\n\n\nA 12km by 2km long north-west trending multi-element geochemical anomaly has been discovered. Within this trend there are four Kilbricken-sized multi-point anomalies (see Figure 1, anomalies 1 to 4) which have never been drill tested, including a southerly extension to the Ballyhickey historic mine;\nOutside the main 12km trend a further three geochemical (Figure 1, anomalies 5 to 7) have been identified;\nMulti-element soil sample coverage above and surrounding the Kilbricken zinc deposit now extends over more than 200 km2;\nAll seven main anomalies defined are drill targets. As geochemical anomalies may not be located directly above potential mineralization due to dispersion along structural breaks, the geochemical data will be used in conjunction with gravity data and the recently completed 2D seismic data to better locate drill holes;\nA total of 961 samples have been collected to date. Further soil sampling on Hannan's County Clare project to infill and extend anomalies is continuing.\n\nMr. Michael Hudson, CEO and Chairman, states: \"Our double-pronged exploration strategy in Ireland is now taking shape. At the prospect scale, ...
