Hana Mining Ltd. announced its most recent drilling results from the completion of 16 infill diamond drill holes in the Banana Zone at its Ghanzi sediment hosted Copper-Silver Project in Botswana.
Infill drilling was carried out on the North Limb area (between sections 67025 to 68925 at North Limb North) to convert a substantial amount of the NI 43-101 compliant resources within this area into the Indicated category from the Inferred category.
These results are from new holes and are in addition to those used in the most recent NI 43-101 compliant Indicated and Inferred mineral resource calculation. The mineralization remains open at depth. Highlights of recent drilling results:
The latest results continue to confirm the continuity of copper-silver mineralization at the North Limb North area of the Banana Zone.
