Sep 09, 2013 (A Wilson) - A 1.53 m section of drill core assayed 1110 ppm Zn, 142 ppm Cu, 44 Pb ppm, 112 ppm Ni and 32 ppm Co. Sphalerite occurs in narrow stringers in graphitic argillite. Best assays from Rockcliff DDH RS07-30 returned 1550 ppm Zn over0.10 m and 1002 ppm Zn over the next 1.25 m. Copper assays for the same intervals were 203.00 and 64.5 ppm and lead values were 97.00 ppm and 123.000 ppm.
