The second phase of P700 drilling program is ongoing.
The highlighted intercepts include:
- T-56 intersected 42.05 meters at 128 g/t silver, 0.41 g/t gold, 0.22% lead and 0.44% zinc
- T-64 intersected 15.60 meters at 139 g/t silver, 0.43 g/t gold, 0.25% lead and 0.82% zinc including 4.20 meters at 393 g/t silver, 1.16 g/t gold, 0.64% lead and 2.13% zinc
- T-55 intersected 11.30 meters at 117 g/t silver, 0.26 g/t gold, 0.18% lead and 0.20% zinc
- T-48 intersected 9.95 meters at 140 g/t silver, 0.24 g/t gold, 0.36% lead and 0.99% zinc
- T-54 intersected 7.10 meters at 664 g/t silver, 1.11 g/t gold, 0.17% lead and 0.25% zinc
- T-60 intersected 6.55 meters at 224 g/t silver, 0.49 g/t gold, 0.19% lead and 0.24% zinc

The drilling was supervised, and the drill core was logged by the Sotkamo Silver personnel. Core size was BQTK resulting 40.7 mm diameter core sample. Standard industry Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures with standards, blanks and duplicates have been followed in the sampling and assaying. Drill hole locations and start azimuths have been surveyed and downhole survey of bearing and dip deviations have been performed.
