All six drill holes are infill holes from the South Ayawilca area. Hole A23-212 returned much better than expected results with a thick and high-grade zinc intersection of 145.2 metres grading 10.9% zinc (estimated true thickness of ~ 100 metres) including 29.3 metres grading 20.2% zinc from a shallow depth of 158 metres. The drill program at South Ayawilca continues to exceed our expectations with respect to the continuity of the ultra high zinc grades. Drilling is expected to continue with two rigs until the end of April.Key highlights of recent South Ayawilca drill holesHole A23-212:145.2 metres at 10.9% zinc from 158.2 metres depth, including:29.3 metres at 20.2% zinc from 158.2 metres depth, and10.6 metres at 14.9% zinc from 200.8 metres depth, and9.8 metres at 15.1% zinc from 239.1 metres depth, and3.6 metres at 35.0% zinc from 262.6 metres depth, and25.8 metres at 13.1% zinc from 277.6 metres depth.The wide interval includes 4.4 metres of no recovery assumed zero grade in three separate zones.Hole A22-208:4.6 metres at 32.4% zinc from 105.2 metres depth; and9.9 metres at 9.7% zinc from 142.1 metres depth; and71.2 metres at 8.8% zinc from 168.8 metres depth, including:37.7 metres at 12.8% zinc from 194.0 metres depth, including2.7 metres at 45.2% zinc from 188.0 metres depth, and20.0 metres at 16.9% zinc from 211.9 metres depth; and1.7 metres at 36.3% zinc from 265.9 metres depth.Hole A22-206:37.8 metres at 10.5% zinc from 153.5 metres depth, including:23.4 metres at 15.2% zinc from 168.0 metres depth; and2.7 metres at 45.2% zinc from 188.0 metres depth and 1.7 metres at 15.9% zinc from 200.3 metres.Hole A23-215:5.2 metres at 11.2% zinc from 144.4 metres depth; and4.1 metres at 33.6% zinc from 190.0 metres depth; and30.1 metres at 8.6% zinc from 263.4 metres depth, including5.6 metres at 21.3% zinc from 264.5 metres depth.Hole A22-210: 2.7 metres at 16.2% zinc from 85.6 metres depth.Hole A22-201: An extension of hole A17-066 (extended by 59 m) did not inte...
