Vice President of Exploration, Dr. George Gale, states: "Hole RD-08-65, drilled from the same setup location as drill holes 62 and 64, intersected a large interval of sulphide veinlets on the western side of the deposit. Drill hole RD-08-66 tested the near surface, up-dip projection of mineralization intersected previously in holes 12, 58 and 60 on the eastern side of the deposit.

Dr. Gale adds: "Hole RD-08-66 intersected the "A" zone with its characteristic copper and zinc mineralization; and also what is interpreted to be the very upper edge of the "B" zone mineralized body further down the hole. Hole RD-08-66 provides evidence for continuity of both zones of mineralization and demonstrates that the mineralization comes within 60 metres of surface in that part of the deposit."
