Jul 03, 2012 (D Draper) - Drillhole SHY-003 cut 2 units showing sphalerite mineralization: a zone of semi-massive sulphides within siliceous sediments at 11.3m which assayed 7620 ppm Zn over 1m; and a 4m zone mineralized with patchy sphalerite at 44m downhole. This latter unit returned an average of 0.91% Zn, including a 1.5m section assaying 1.35% Zn. A sample taken from mafic sediment at 108.5m downhole returned 822 ppm Ni over 1.5m. (T-5907)
