Drilling by Great Bear across the on-strike projection of the Klaza and BYG zones of Rockhaven Resources' (TSX-V:RK.V - News) Klaza property onto the Etzel property has not encountered economically significant gold mineralization. Results are summarized in the table below. While a gold-mineralized structural system was intersected in all drill holes, grades and thicknesses of mineralization do not support further work.
The Company has more than $1.5M on hand and is reviewing new opportunities.
