The bigger news in the press release Why does Orvana always bury these gems as an add on to other matters. The drill results indicate a rich deposit extension of the discontinued LMZ.
The Company drilled two exploration holes that targeted geophysical anomalies west of
the UMZ. One of these holes intercepted the projection of the Lower Mineralized Zone
shear zone. The hole, which was collared on the UMZ deposit and drilled nearly
perpendicular to the dip of the shear zone thus being a representation of true width,
returned 23.7 metres of 1.22% copper, 2.75 g/t gold, and 16.5 g/t silver, including 2
metres of 2.49% copper, 18.86 g/t gold, and 73.5 g/t silver. The hole intercepted the
shear zone about 60 metres above the highest level of mining within the shear zone.
This mineralization was not included in the UMZ reserve estimate, but will be evaluated
for possible inclusion in any future mine plan.
