These results indicate a strong gold mineralized structure located at the west end and below the historic underground workings as well as to the west and below the majority of the limited drilling completed on the property to date. The mineralized zone is open to depth and down plunge with indications that the hydrothermal alteration system is increasing in intensity along with both the grade and width of the mineralization. The drilling will target down plunge and along strike of this mineralization.
