This analysis is from the drilling programme completed in January 2020 and is further supporting evidence that the Plateau Gold Deposit is a significantly large mineralising system.\n \n \n Silver assays up to almost one and a half ounces per tonne (43.9 g/t Ag) over a 6 m section of drilling, including 1 m @ 113 g/t Ag represent some of the highest silver grades encountered so far at Plateau. \n \n \n Silver results\n \n \n · \n \n 26 m @ 13.3 g/t Ag\n \n in hole BPL031 (from 74 m), including:\n \n \n · \n 15 m @ 21.3 g/t Ag (from 47 m) and\n \n \n · \n 6 m @ 43.9 g/t Ag (from 85 m) and\n \n \n · \n \n 1 m @ 113 g/t Ag (from 85 m)\n \n .\n \n \n \n \n \n · \n \n 203 m @ 3.68 g/t Ag\n \n in hole BPL027 (from 0 m): including:\n \n \n · \n 11 m @ 21.5 g/t Ag (from 145 m); and\n \n \n · \n 7 m @ 17.46 g/t Ag (from 178 m).\n \n \n \n \n \n · \n \n 254 m @ 2.0 g/t Ag\n \n in hole BPL026 (from 87 m) including:\n \n \n · \n 20 m @ 4.5 g/t Ag (from 89 m).\n \n \n \n \n \n · \n \n 83 m @ 3.05 g/t Ag\n \n in hole BPL029 (from 20 m), including:\n \n \n · \n 16 m @ 5.4 g/t Ag (from 47 m) and\n \n \n · \n 9 m @ 5.08 g/t Ag (from 82 m).\n \n \n \n \n \n · \n \n 62 m @ 2.5 g/t Ag\n \n in hole BPL030 (from 2 m), including:\n \n \n · \n 6 m @ 10.7 g/t Ag (from 55 m).\n \n \n \n \n \n · \n \n 45 m @ 1.61 g/t Ag\n \n in hole BPL028 (from 120 m), and:\n \n \n · \n 7 m @ 17.46 g/t Ag (from 178 m).\n \n \n \n \n \n · \n A drill hole drilled 150 m away by Newcrest Mining in 2007 intersected 300 m @ 2.2 g/t Ag.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Zinc results\n \n \n \n \n \n · \n \n 10 m @ 1.72 % Zn\n \n in hole BPL031 (from 73 m).\n \n \n \n \n \n · \n \n 126 m @ 0.31 % Zn\n \n in hole BPL026 (from 96 m) including:\n \n \n · \n 6 m @ 1.05 % Zn (from 102 m).\n \n \n &...
