Highlights of the Drill Results
The team has drilled some confirmation holes in the East 400 area. East 400 is the smallest and shallowest of the planned pits at the Kombat mine. The following holes have dramatically extended the known mineralization and mineable tonnage in the zone. The following are a couple of the best results:
E400FLW-006 (1.77 azimuth, -58.3 dip)
Intersected 5.4 m,
intersected 4.0 m,
E400FLW-007 (176.1 azimuth, -57.7 dip)
Intersected 13.0 m,
Intersected 7.0 m,
