“It is still early days at Iceberg, where we continue to receive a myriad of high-grade results. As shown in Figure 3 below on long section, we have roughly 50 holes pending from this zone with almost all occurring within the first 200m from surface. We look forward to getting a full grasp of this zone as we continue to chase it to depth and along strike,” commented COO Greg Matheson on the results.
The results follow assays released last week from the same zone, which had extended known mineralization to a strike length of 550 metres. Earlier this week that company also revealed that it had intersected 105 g/t over 27.1 metres at the same zone, from a depth of 59.75 metres. The result was strong enough that the company at the time issued a release on just the single drill hole.
