Jan 12, 2023 (Q Unknown) - Diamond drilling of an electromagnetic conductor resulted in DDH WS-1 intersecting a wide interval containing low gold values hosted by what the drill log describes as an andesite. In all, the hole intersected a weighted average grade of 0.018 oz/ton Au along a core length of 80 feet (600 ppb Au / 24.38 metres). However the nature of the results reported on the laboratory sheet raises the possibility of contamination.
