Tetrahedrite - PyrargyriteFrom two prior NR's. Using
Tetrahedrite intermittently with "silver antimony sulfide zone, then later states "significant mineralization from 10,000 - 10,829. Bond stated 800 feet Pyrargyrite, but the company states tedrahedrite (silver sulfide zone). Also Bond states Red, and the company states sooty black, so tough to see how it fits together just yet, but being a "non-geologist" not aware if a tetrahedrite (silver-antimony zone) is being described for what will result in Pyrargyrite. Pre-assay comments as opposed to the official assay results will be interesting.

intersection of its initial deep target in hole DDH-006, which is aSullivan-style sulfide bed beginning at approximately
10,000 FT andcontinuing to approximately 10,180 FT. The mineralization ranges fromdisseminated to intermittently massive, and is very fine-grained innature. Assays are forthcoming, and management believes thisintersection may represent a main sphalerite (zinc sulfide) -
tetrahedrite (silver-antimony sulfide) zone."At the time ofthis press release, DDH-006 is at a depth of 10,268 FT and is in whatappears to be disseminated galena (lead sulfide), with minor sphaleriteand chalcopyrite (copper sulfide), and with strong stockwork veiningpredominantly along the axis of the core," said Mr. Russell. "Thenature of the stockwork veining gives us reason to believe that thenext mineralized bed in the series may be primarily galena withchalcopyrite and sphalerite. We have reset the target depth of DDH-006to 10,500 FT in anticipation of an extended intersection of primarilygalena mineralization." from 10,000 - 10,829.

The Company continues to encounter significant mineralization inhole DDH-006 from approximately 10,000 FT to current depth of 10,829FT. Assays are currently underway and preliminary results expected soonfor the interval 10,000 to 10,350 FT, including the fine-grainedmineralized zone reported from 10,000 FT to 10,180 FT.
Anothersimilar fine-grained mineralized zone was encountered fromapproximately 10,500 - 10,600 FT. "We believe that these two zones,which are steel black in color with sooty black streaks, aretetrahedrite-type mineralization. They are hosted in a fine-grainedmica with the degree of mineralization varying from partial to almosttotal replacement of the mica, or in other words disseminated to nearlycompletely massive," said Mr. Russell.
Potential Galena Sulfide Beds
"Oncethrough this second zone, we began to intersect increasingly strongerand wider stockwork veining which looks to be comprised primarily ofgalena. Also, we have noticed what appears to be increasingly densedisseminated galena mineralization with minor chalcopyrite andsphalerite. Both the technical literature on the Silver Valley, andevidence in the drill core suggest to us that we may expect significantlead and silver sulfide zones below a tetrahedrite-type mineralizingsequence," said Mr. Russell. "Thus, we have increased our target depthyet again for DDH-006 to 11,100 FT in an attempt to intersect thesepredicted zones. Our expectation is to intersect a zone comprisedprimarily of galena, followed by a related silver sulfide zone."
