Unlike any previous drilling, strong gold and tungsten mineralization was cut in the final hole, which was drilled farther east than any previous drilling. Hole SA15-35 (See Map in Figure 1 and Table 1), cut two zones of coherent gold mineralization at 895-931 metres downhole depth: 9.33 m grading 1.01 g/t gold; including 0.88 m grading 3.6 g/t gold and 8.07 m grading 1.36 g/t gold; including 2.31m grading 2.96 g/t gold. These zones occur in scheelite-bearing skarn which extends from approximately 650 m to 931 m downhole depth. The highest grade tungsten (“W”) is 0.9 m of 0.38%.
