The results revealed impressive grades of up to 3.1% copper, 842 g/t silver, 5.5% zinc, and 7.6% lead in stacked sulfide-rich horizons.
The mineralization spans approximately 100 meters, from depths of 1270.8m to 1371.4m, where the hole was lost. The high-grade horizons vary in width from less than 1 meter to over 10 meters.
