Tertiary’s recent results include drill intersections of 10.3m grading 13.1% CaF2 from 9.20m depth in Hole 08TS005 (including 3.2 m at 22.7% CaF2 from 16.30m), 4.35m grading 13.5% CaF2 from 60.25m depth in Hole 08TS004 and 3.35m grading 21.5% CaF2 from 11.5m depth in Hole 08TS006 (within a 18.05m interval grading 10.6% CaF2). \n \nA full tabulation of significant drill-core assay results is given in the accompanying table. All drill holes are vertical and the reported intersections are believed to represent the true widths of the assayed sections of the horizontally layered fluorite mineralisation.\n\n \nDrill holes 08TS009 to 11 were speculative holes, each stepping-out 250-300m beyond the previously known perimeter of the deposit at its NW limits. The corresponding assay results confirm that all holes intersecte...
