New Drilling "E3 has emerged as a strong geophysical target. Now it needs to be tested." A drill site has been identified and preparations are underway to mobilize FB Drilling of Cranbrook, BC.
The project team has also completed new prospecting and sampling over the EAST anomaly area and has collected outcrop samples from a number of sites for assay. Many new outcrop locations were identified and visible sphalerite was found disseminated in irregular patches at one of the outcrops. This style of mineralization is reminiscent of mineralization in rocks two to three kilometres south of the Sullivan deposit on North Star Hill. A total of 17 outcrop samples were sent for analysis. Samples from two of these sites returned zinc values greater than 10,000 ppm (roughly 1%); one of these sites is 100 metres south of the surface projection of the E3 gravity anomaly." NR today.
Visible sphalerite in outcrops adds a positive factor to this equation IMHO.
