BN prospect
Drill hole F16-17returned 4.1metres of 5.1% WO3 and is located approximately 50 metres south of 2012 drill hole F12-27 which contains 14.8m of 4.0% W03. F16-18 is about 50 metres south of F16-17, and returned 3.03 m of 1.07 % WO3 and ended within the mineralized zone due to a drill problem. Approximately 45 metres further south, F16-19 returned 6.0 metres of 0.56% WO3, including 2.8 metres of 0.81% WO3. Drilling at the BN prospect has started to outline a new high grade mineralized zone that is open in extent to the south and north. To date, drilling has tested an area approximately 150 m by 100 m in dimension within a target area that is 1.5 km by 1.0 km in dimension. For comparison, the Cantung mine located in the Northwest Territories, Canada, is regarded as among the largest and highest-grade tungsten mines in the western world with reserves and resources grading approximately 0.80 to 0.97% WO3(1).
