Piercey, VMS expert, completed a lithogeochemical study of host rocks at the Company's BMK VMS Deposit and associated regional VMS targets situated on the 37 km long BMK Trend (Figure 1).The Study confirms that the volcaniclastic- and sedimentary-rich assemblages within the BMK Trend are typical of those hosting high tonnage VMS deposits and districts globally, such as those observed in the high-grade VMS Bathurst Mining Camp, New BrunswickNew zone of precious metals, gold-silver-lead (Au-Ag-Pb) mineralization, has been identified at the BMK Deposit:Assay results from a previously unsampled interval of drill hole BR07-39 - situated below the lower zone of VMS mineralization at the BMK Deposit - returned grades of 0.84 g/t Au, 95.05 g/t Ag, & 0.48% Pb over 5.75 metres including 7.17 g/t Au, 663 g/t Ag & 4.57% Pb over 0.5 metres.The Company has identified similar lithological and alteration assemblages that are associated with the Au-Ag-Pb mineralization (Figure 3) in previously unsampled sections of other drill holes across the BMK Deposit - highlighting the prospectivity of growing the precious metals component of the Deposit in future resource updates.Regionally, the study confirmed host lithologies and alteration types found at Main Lake (along strike to the south of BMK) and the Betty Target (located on strike to the north) are well developed and consistent with that observed at the BMK Deposit, verifying the prospectivity of the BMK Trend to host additional VMS Deposits.
