• Hole S18-214 intersected 22 metres grading 1.5 percent copper equivalent within a larger interval containing 48 metres grading 0.7 percent copper equivalent.
• Hole S18-212 intersected 22 metres grading 0.5 percent copper equivalent, including 6 metres grading 1.2 percent copper equivalent.
• Width and grade of the mineralized zone appear to increase toward the surface.
• Holes S18-212 and 214 both intersected long intervals of intense alteration locally containing highly elevated zinc and silver including: 98 metres of 0.61 percent zinc and 5.1 grams per tonne (g/t) silver, including 14 metres of 1.12 percent zinc and 6.27 g/t silver in hole S18-214, and 71 metres grading of 0.57 percent zinc, 0.11 percent lead, and 6.7 g/t silver in hole S18-212.
