With this high production rate the Company projects that the drill hole, which is targeted for a final depth of over 5000 feet, will be completed on schedule on or around November 10. Project geologist, Victor French reports that the first set of assay results representing 57 samples taken from a heavily disseminated sulphide intersection at 1605 to 1810 feet will be available on Tuesday, November 4.
