| Historical work on zone 1 had identified gold mineralization associated with a plunging synclinal structure and widespread argillic alteration in silicious sub-volcanic, intrusive and sedimentary rocks. Three holes will be drilled from the west limb of the folded synclinal iron formation through to the east limb in order to test the area of the little explored Lookout zone in the west limb and for mineralization in the east limb at a depth of 200 m. It has been established that disseminated silver-zinc-lead mineralization lies between 100 metres and 300 metres from surface in a number of stratabound zones within the limestones in a broad synclinal structure. |
