We are very pleased with these new results which continue to confirm and extend the Ixtaca zone to be a strong system of veining with sections that carry high gold and silver grades. Including the veining of the newly discovered Ixtaca North zone, the Ixtaca vein system is wider than previously known. The new results reported today from the Northeast Extension Zone show that we are only beginning to understand this exciting project as we now have a new orientation of veining hosting high grades to explore and develop. Drilling to date on the Ixtaca vein system shows good continuity of mineralisation in both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
