Drill hole # CD-10-183 intersected 415.0g/tonne (12.12 oz/ton) over 3.4m at over 200m to the east of the currently developed strike length extent of the 007 Zone.
Additionally, drilling was undertaken from an underground drill station at the 9220 level (240m below surface) of the 007 decline.
The first underground hole (S922-10-60) intersected substantial grade and width midway between the known eastern limit of the 007 Zone and the East Extension discovery hole.
This intersection of 20.9g/tonne (0.61 oz/ton) over 25.5m is located over 60m to the west of discovery hole #CD-10-178 at the same depth below surface of 260m.
For reference, discovery hole # CD-10-178 intersected 66.1g/tonne (0.61oz/ton) over 25.5m .
The strike length confirmed by drilling of the 007 and 007 East Extension zones combined is now over 300m at 260m below surface.
The 007 East Extension Zone, as well as the 007, L10 and Emperor Zones all occur near to or within a mafic flow rock unit known as the Shoreline Basalt, striking roughly east-west, parallel to and stratigraphically above the Rice Lake Mine or SAM unit.
All of the Shoreline Basalt zones are located proximal to a series of identified shears and their intersections with the mafic flow unit.
Mineralization consists of free gold and pyrite within quartz-carbonate veining and associated alteration consistent with the Rice Lake and Hinge Mines and the 007 development.
