- Strong mineralization confirmed in 100% of 243 widespread drill holes containing 300 intercepts to date within 1.8 km2 area where 8 stacked gold veins as well as 5 new stacked gold veins have been identified and confirmed by assays. Confirmation of multiple stacked gold veins and widespread gold rich reduced intrusion feeder dykes within the 1.8 km2 area up to >1.2 km deep that remain open both laterally and to depth, confirms the continuity of the widths and grades at Surebet demonstrating this world class gold system has tremendous additional untapped expansion potential remaining.
