Full summary

Diamond drilling has extended and defined a broad near-surface silver zone, with significant intersections including 67.1m @ 19 g/t Ag from surface. The mineralised zone remains open in all directions, with potential to add volume and contained metal to the current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).
