Hiya Russett, George, etc.! -- just getting in. Yes, more good numbers out today! - From today's NR: "These results describe the geochemical composition of a horizontal rock unit (the "P-1 Layer") extending 11 km between Holes 7-D and 9, drilled in February, 1999. No sample results have yet been received for the 70 metres of mineralized rock that underlies the P-1 Layer in both drill holes. " [We await these results to further define the mass/ depth of this deposit, as well as the pulled samples archived from last year's MMU drilling, etc that may extend the deposit to many more KM's in dimension] "Except for gold, which was below detection limit in all samples, all of the samples are generously mineralized in metals and in elements that indicate that the host rock has been subjected to the influence of hydrothermal mineralizing fluids. A selection of results are contained in the table below: High Low Average Silver (gms) 7.0 0.5 2.0 Boron (ppm) 2470 51 868 Barium (ppm) 810 28 534 Nickel (ppm) 252 24 102 Vanadium 576 39 204 Zinc 476 28 150 "..The results confirm that the 9 to 12 metre thick P-1 Layer is highly enriched in elements, including interesting economic metals, over 11 km in a north-south axis. The unusual boron and barium concentrations suggest nearby, possibly multiple, hydrothermal volcanic vents. Boron is especially significant, occurring in such high concentrations in our samples, since it is a very specific component of many large tonnage zinc/lead/silver deposits, such as the century old Sullivan massive zinc/lead/silver mine in southern British Columbia. ..Additional samples are currently being processed for metallic geochemistry. Selected core samples have been submitted for diamond analysis." __________ __________ Quiet, perhaps a lil delayed, market response today, while the company continues to move ahead. ;) All the beast, -j :>
