Drill hole SJ-08-21 intersected two massive sulphide veins (the “M-S Veins”). The first intercept yielded 3.66 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), 295 g/t silver (Ag), 7.87% lead (Pb) and 12.07% zinc (Zn) (20 g/t Au equivalent or 945 g/t Ag equivalent) over a core length of 12.04 metres (40 feet). The second intercept yielded 7.90 g/t Au, 550 g/t Ag, 11.25% Pb and 27.68% Zn (39 g/t Au equivalent or 1,845 g/t Ag equivalent) over a core length of 1.75 metres (6 feet).
