The company now reports assays for the final 12 drill holes. Northern Deep Vein Deep vein is a term used to describe a vein that is deep in the body. It is used to differentiate deep veins from veins which are close to the surface, also known as superficial veins. Deep veins are almost always beside an artery with the same name (e.g. Exploration Three deep holes were drilled targeted at vein mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure.

Exceptional grades and thicknesses of vein mineralization were intersected in all three holes. - Hole 159 intersected grades of 22% combined lead and zinc, with 5 ounces per ton silver over 29.5 meters of core, including an exceptionally high grade of 11.8 meters of 50% combined lead and zinc, with 11 ounces of silver per ton. - Hole 152 intersected grades of over 54% of combined lead and zinc, with 14 ounces per ton silver, in 3.1 meters of core. - Hole 156 intersected grades of 11% combined lead and zinc over 23.3 meters, including one meter meter, unit of measure meter, abbr. m, fundamental unit of length in the metric system. The meter was originally defined as 1/10,000,000 of the distance between the equator and either pole; however, the original survey was inaccurate and the meter was later which ran 43% combined lead and zinc with 8 ounces of silver per ton. This northern area comprises part of the previously calculated mineral resource, however, the drill definition within this area is sparse sparse - A sparse matrix (or vector, or array) is one in which most of the elements are zero. If storage space is more important than access speed, it may be preferable to store a sparse matrix as a list of (index, value) pairs or use some kind of hash scheme or associative memory. and based on widely spaces holes. Holes 156 and 159 were both drilled on the same 50900N section line testing for a downward extension of a series of small high grade veins exposed near the end of the existing 930 m level underground workings.
