  • Another eight Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes have been completed at the 4100N Zone with all drill holes intersecting thick intervals of strong visual copper sulfide mineralization
  • The recent drilling at the 4100N Zone has defined strong near-surface copper mineralization over 850m x 300m and remains open along strike
  • RC drilling continues at Storm with further drill holes added to the resource definition program at the 4100N Zone
  • All current drill samples have been sent to the laboratory for analysis
