Hana Mining: Infill drilling continues to encounter consistent high-grade copper-silver mineralization along the South Limb of the Banana Zone
Tuesday, 30 August 2011 12:08
Hana Mining Ltd. announced its most recent drilling results from the completion of 11 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 South Limb area (between sections 59075 to 60075 at South Limb South) 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 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 South Limb South area of the Banana Zone.
