Nov 26, 2014 (A Wilson) - Chance DDH K-54-8 returned an assay of 14.1% Zn, 1.96% Pb and 4.64 oz/t Ag over 15.2 ft. A 1.8 ft section of core from K-54-9 assayed 24.0% Zn, 5.12% Pb and 3.94 oz/t Ag. Other drill holes from the program assayed 1.0% Zn, 0.28% Pb and 8.06 oz/t Ag. DDH K-15 was collared 100 ft west and 530 ft south of K 54-8. It returned 3 ft of 0.32% Pb, 2.48% Zn as well as a series of drill intersections from 592.2 ft to 625.8 ft. Other intersections in this drill hole returned values of 7.8% Pb and 9.52% Zn over 6 ft between 619.8 and 625.8 ft; 0.88% Pb, 4.28% Zn, 0.16 oz/t Ag over 6 ft. Assays from the Kidd Creek drilling in 1983-84 returned an average grade of 17.2% Zn, 6.8% Pb and 537.6 g/t Ag over an intersection of 6.54 m. Averaged values from all of the drill holes completed to May 1986 were 12.76% Zn, 4.17% Pb and 6.51 oz/t Ag over 11.2 ft. Assays from the Opawica drilling in 1999 returned the following assays 150 ppm Cu, 2505 ppm zn and 3054 ppm Pb including a 0.25 m section which contained 0.1 % Cu, 1.97% Zn and 3.38% Pb.
