Exploration on this northwesterly trending, west dipping Silver-Gold vein consists of holes drilled on a 50‑meter horizontal and vertical drill pattern designed to systematically explore and build tonnage. Hole Z09-20, drilled on the furthest section to the north, is particularly encouraging as both the thicknesses and grade continues to be substantial. Drilling is ongoing and results from additional drill holes are pending. Mining engineering and metallurgical studies have begun to assess the viability of near-term production at Noche Buena.
