Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. reported that the first hole of a two-hole, 236 metre drill program at the company's 100% owned Weaver Lake gold property in the New Westminster Mining Division in southern BC returned assays of 2 g/t gold and 13.71 g/t silver over 4.61 metres. These results represent core lengths only, as the true width of the structure has not yet been determined. The second hole returned no significant assays. The 2018 holes were drilled to test the extension of the high grade gold and silver quartz - carbonate shear hosted veins intersected in a 1975 drilling program and subsequent underground workings. Drill hole 18-01 was drilled at an 010 degree azimuth for 121.92 meters and it intersected a package of variably altered tuff and hornfels tuff, including an interval of brecciated quartz-carbonate rhodocrosite veins from 19.6 meters to 40 meters in which the interval from 27.11 metres to 32.01 metres returned 2.0 g/t Au and 13.71 g/t Ag. The Weaver Lake property is located in southern BC and is highly accessible via highway and all weather roads and can be worked on year-round.
