Highlights
DDH02-001: 1,005 g/t Silver Equivalent ('AgEq') over 2.2 metres ('m')
DDH02-003: 1,219 g/t AgEq over 3.3 m
DDH02-003: 1,876 g/t AgEq over 1.6 m
DDH02-004: 1,609 g/t AgEq over 1.5 m (including 2,071 AgEq over 1.0 m and 2439 AgEq over 0.6 m)
'We are pleased to report these high-grade, near-surface drill results from work done on the project by our predecessor in 2002. These newly acquired results, combined with our initial 2021 drill campaign, demonstrate consistent high-grade gold and silver values immediately beneath the existing mine workings,' stated President & CEO
All reported assays are downhole core lengths, uncapped and calculated using a 110 g/t Ag cut-off grade. AgEq_g/t = Ag_g/t + Au_g/t 100; True thickness unknown, est 75-85%. One hundred percent recovery utilized. AgEq shown for reference purposes.
This additional information compliments the drilling program Silver Hammer completed in 2021 and allows the Company to add more detailed information to the geological model to be used for drill targeting in 2022.
The 2002 drill program was conducted by
Analysis Suite
All drill core samples were analyzed by ALS using conventional assay methods involving fire assaying of 50-gram charges of pulverized sample material for gold and silver, with AA (Au-AA24) and/or gravimetric finishing (Au-GRA22). In addition, some pulverized charges were collected and were entirely dissolved using 4-acid digestion (Ag-AA62), with the final solution being analyzed for ore grade Ag using AA method.
Audits or reviews
Internal review of sampling techniques, data, and drilling results by the Company's geologist's and management was routinely done through the course of the project.
Blanks and Duplicates
For quality assurance/quality control purposes, the batches of core samples sent to ALS for assaying and AA analyses were regularly infused with 'duplicate', and 'blank' samples. The 'duplicates' were created during sample preparation at ALS. The laboratory also provided analytical results for their own reference samples for further QA/QC check.
