Drillhole FSDH107 intersected 1,270.0m at 0.92% CuEq from 298.0m in the Aurora Zone, including:
• 52.0m at 218.5 g/t Ag from 508.0m
• 624.0m at 1.13% CuEq from 606.0m
Drillhole FSDH112 intersected 1,282.5m at 0.61% CuEq from 96.0m in the Bonita Zone, including:
• 528.5m at 0.97% CuEq from 659.5m
• 1.5km to the northeast of the intersection in FSDH107
Drillhole FSDH113 intersected 833.7m at 0.64% CuEq from 532.3m in the Bonita Zone, including:
• 510.0m at 0.71% CuEq from 590.0m
Drillhole FSDH116 intersected 610.0m at 0.39 g/t Au, 0.15% Cu and 2.2 g/t Ag from 22.0m in the Tamberias Zone
• 4.3km to the southwest of the intersection in FSDH112
Commenting on the release, Jamie Beck, President, and CEO stated, "Hole 107 has provided an expansion of the Aurora Zone, 300m to the west of hole 41. We now interpret mineralization on this section to have a minimum east-west width of 700m, remaining open in both directions. Additionally, holes 112 and 113 confirm the strong mineralization encountered in the Bonita area and are helping us to target the high-grade corridor running throughout the deposit with several of the current holes. Three kilometres to the south of hole 107 we have confirmed a gold-rich porphyry in hole 116 in the Tamberias area, further expanding the footprint of the overall deposit. We have now drilled continuous mineralization over 5.5 kilometres between holes 116 in the south and 114 in the north, with hole 107 expanding the width, and still the deposit is open in all directions." Mr. Beck continued, "The previously announced arrangement with BHP and Lundin Mining is progressing on schedule and is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2025."
