Skeena Resources Limited (TSXV:SKE) reports assay results of four additional holes from its current 5,000 metre diamond drill program on its Tropico project in Mexico.

The press release is quoted as saying,

Assay results have now been obtained from 15 of the 19 holes completed to date (totaling approximately 4,242 m), out of a proposed 22 hole first-phase program, on this layered mafic/ultramafic complex. Within the central portion of the Maricela – San Pablo Zone (refer to news releases dated May 10 and 30, and June 13, 2011), up to four parallel, near vertically dipping, 16 metre to >100 metre thick horizons of mineralized pyroxenite, interspersed with barren gabbro, have been drill intersected, each yielding 0.17 to 0.5 % copper, from 0.2 g/t to 0.6 g/t PGM (platinum + palladium + gold) and an average silver content of approximately 2 g/t. The 2 pyroxenite bands on the north side appear to have good continuity over a strike length of at least 2.5 km; the 2 horizons on the south side are less well investigated at this stage but are interpreted to have continuity over a strike length of at least 1.5 km.
