Results include 34 metres at 4.22 per cent zinc and lead from 66 metres including 17 metres at 6.65 per cent zinc and lead from 73 metres.
Additionally, the results highlighted the potential for a large-scale zinc-lead system as only two kilometres of the 45-kilometre strike was tested.
Seven RC holes, totalling 940 metres, were drilled at the Magazine Prospect to test for potential strike extensions to previously defined mineralisation.
Results are pending for all holes and are will be received in due course.
