According to the release, diamond drill hole PZ-18-01 drilled into a zone of massive sulfide mineralization over a core length of 1.35 m at a depth of 147 m. The mineralized core interval comprises 80 percent sulfides, mainly pyrite with visible zinc and lead mineralization. This new VMS discovery occurs in the Boucher Brook formation 120m above the Portage zone. It is open down-dip and along strike. Assays are pending.

The Portage property covers 7100 hectares comprising 4 mineral claims acquired through prospector agreements and 4 mineral claims acquired by staking. The property is accessible by logging roads and located 1 km south and west of the Restigouche VMS deposit owned by Trevali Mining.
