The recent drill holes (PUX001, PUX002 and PUX006a), deepest to date on the property, intersected mineralization up to 240-metres below the current modeled mining level and confirms mineralization remains open at depth (Table 1, Figure 1 & 2). Perkoa Exploration SummarySince acquiring Perkoa, a re-interpretation of the geological model has recognized the significance of structural thickening of the deposit on an approximately 200-metre periodicity. In late-2017, proof of concept drilling verified the model. The 2018 drill program targeted these areas below the current mine design, approximately 700-metres subsurface, returning multiple high-grade zinc intercepts in the down-dip extensions of the Hanging-Wall (HW) lens (Table 1, Figure 1 and 2).
