“The recent set of Phase 3 results received at Great Burnt are in line with most viable VMS deposits around the globe and are very substantial as we continue to expand the VMS system. Due to the nature of prior phases of results at the Great Burnt Deposit, we are hopeful to intersect higher grades, as we continue to expand the deposit at depth and along strike, both of which remain completely open,” commented CEO Stephen Stares on the results.

The results are said to demonstrate that mineralization continues down plunge and along strike to the south, while adding to the deposit at depth. Drilling under a phase four program is continuing exploration in this direction, targeting mineralization at a depth of 450 metres. A total of 12 holes are expected to occur under the program, with drilling on the first hole now underway.
