The hole intersected 7.1 metres of massive sulphide at a downhole depth of 812.5 metres (vertical depth of approximately 725 metres) grading 4.91% Zn, 2.06% Pb, 0.37% Cu, 77.92 g/t Ag & 2.52 g/t Au (Table 1).\n Drill hole BR-1018 was designed to test the northwest down-plunge extension of the \"Caribou Mineral Horizon\" that remains relatively underexplored (Figure 2). The hole intersected 32.1 metres of sulphide mineralization at a downhole depth of 808 metres (vertical depth of approximately 770 metres) grading 3.36% Zn, 1.28% Pb, 0.74% Cu, 37.41 g/t Ag & 0.94 g/t Au, within which several higher-grade intervals occur including 12.95 metres of 4.77% Zn, 2.02% Pb, 0.43% Cu, 51.14 g/t Ag & 1.57 g/t Au (Table 1).\n Down hole geophysics (BHEM) from both of these holes suggests strong continuity of mineralization in the area around BR-1014A, additional follow up drilling is underway with the goal of defining the limits of mineralization and brining this zone of mineralization into the geologic resource.\n \"These significant, deeper massive sulphide mineralized intercepts at our Caribou Zinc Mine continue to demonstrate the resource expansion potential of the deposit,\" stated Dr. Mark Cruise, Presid...
