Sampling infills large previously unsampled areas around known mineralization;\nA new large and undrilled anomaly has been discovered immediately up-dip from the Kilbricken resource area (Figure 1);\nThe anomaly is similar in scale (0.75km x 0.5km) and tenor in zinc, lead, copper and arsenic to the soil anomaly found above known mineralization at the Chimney resource area, and shows a strong correlation with prospective faults identified from gravity, magnetic and seismic data sets;\nThis new anomaly, in combination with known structure, presents a target for immediate follow up, representing the Kilbricken mineralized position at shallower depth;\nTwo diamond drill rigs are currently in operation at Kilbricken drilling six days a week.\n\nMr. Michael Hudson, CEO and Chairman, states: \"Base metal mineralization in Ireland is consistently developed within the right stratigraphic and structural setting. The high-grade zinc mineralization at Kilbricken demonstrates both these ingredients, and our semi-regional exploration program has been targeting similar settings. The new and untested large-scale soil anomaly, with similar scale and tenor to Kilbricken, with great structural context, presents an exciting drill-ready target that will be tested within the coming months.
