[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, Aug. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Honey Badger Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: TUF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) announces partial results from drill hole BN-18-004 from its Thunder Bay Silver Cobalt Camp. Please note, drill results are being released as received – resulting in partial assays being available for the hole.  The drill hole was targeting the Beaver Mine structure below the known underground workings of the mine.  Assays are pending for holes BM-18-01A, BM-18-05, BM-18-07 and BM-18-08, as well as remaining partial assay results for holes BM-18-002, BM-18-003, BM-18-004 and BM-18-006.  Partial assays in this case refer to spatial location – not mineral content. Drilling Highlights: Drilling program indicates that high-grade silver mineralization extends below the lower-most level of the Beaver Mine; Hole BM-18-004 (Figure 1) contains 292 g/t silver (“Ag”) over 4.43 metres (“m”), including 921 g/t Ag over 1.4m. Hole BM-18-004 (Figure 1) contains 0.35% cobalt (“Co”) over 4.5m, including 0.50% Co over 3m. Quentin Yarie, Honey Badger’s President and CEO, commented: “As results from our spring drill program become available we continue to modify our interpretation of the both the silver and cobalt mineralization.  As an example, the cobalt mineralization in this hole occurs at the first sample taken at 21m – we have now sampled and submitted the first 20m for assaying.  We are conducting and planning additional exploration in Thunder Bay as we wait for exploration permits for the property.” Table 1.
