Wojtek Wodzicki, President and CEO, commented, "Drillhole DPDH077 is a good reminder that the Jupiter Zone, which was first intersected by the Lunahuasi discovery drillhole, is not to be overlooked. We have fewer holes into Jupiter than Saturn or Mars, but several intersections across an area of 400 x 500m highlight the potential of this third major zone within the overall Lunahuasi deposit. Holes DPDH069 and DPDH072 are step out holes on Saturn, expanding the zone by over 100m up-dip and down-plunge, respectively. Saturn remains open in all directions. Our team is now focused on updating our geological interpretation with the information gathered during the Phase 4 drill program and developing a robust geological model which will guide our planning for Phase 5 drilling."
