Jul 30, 2014 (Therese Pettigrew) - A two drill-hole fan was completed at the G3 anomaly for 194 m. Due to the first hole, G3-09-01, intersecting a 3.75 m interval of massive sulphide with visible sphalerite and chalcopyrite, a second hole was drilled underneath from the same set-up, which intersected massive sulphides over 4.08 m. This massive sulphide horizon dips steeply to the south and is hosted within a biotite-chlorite schist. G3-09-01: 56.10-68.35 m (12.25 m): 0.34% Zn, 0.10% Cu, 5.3 g/t Ag G3-09-02 : 86.45-93.60 m (2.85 m) : 1.20% Zn, 0.15% Cu, 6.8 g/t Ag
