Jan 16, 2015 (A Wilson) - A 5 ft section of andesite between 83 and 88 ft returned an assay of 7200 ppb Zn, 945 ppm Pb,180 ppm Cu and 3.1 ppm Ag. Other intersections in the drill hole returned values of 2140 ppb Zn, 123 ppm Pb,237 ppm Cu and 1.9 ppm Ag between 93 and 98 ft; 2540 ppb Zn, 455 ppm Pb,158 ppm Cu and 1.5 ppm Ag between 93 and 98 ft. These elevated values were returned from altered andesite and carbonceous argillite and chert.
