Exploration Potential
Potential for significant increases in both stratabound and vein type mineralization exist throughout the property. Drilling on Zone 3 has so far been restricted by topography limiting the areas of potential mineralization that can be drilled. The furthest hole to the north on the mineral resource, (95-125) intercepted identical vein type mineralization in the same stratigraphic/structural setting as seen in the underground workings indicating the vein is still open-ended and continuing to the north. In the main zone the vein remains open to the north with the trend of the vein directly intersecting the Rico Showing, where a vein type occurrence has been exposed in bedrock, a further 4 kilometres beyond the last drill hole. This zone also has excellent potential for hosting further stratabound type mineralization.
Associated Stratabound mineralization has the potential to significantly increase the throughput of the mill, due to its much higher tonnes per vertical meter of depth.
The southern part of the property contains numerous exposures of vein type material in identical geological settings to that found in the main zone. Some wide spaced exploration drill holes have also returned stratabound type mineralization over 3 kilometres south of the defined mineral resource at the mine. These mineral showings are referred to as Zones approximately 1 kilo meter apart extending from the Main Zone 3 (at the minesite) to Zone 12 approximately 10 kilometres to the south.
