This included native silver (assays up to 744g\/t), copper mineralisation (up to 1.9%) and anomalous gold values (up to 6.65g\/t) within broader zones of zinc (up to 32.4%).<\/p>\n<p>The intersected sequence was reported to be analogous to the stratigraphic location and asymmetric alteration in the host limestone of the Falun mine.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Known footprint much larger than first thought<\/h2>\n<p>The follow-up drilling in hole GRO23-23 intersected visual mineralisation and identified a high-priority in-hole conductor for immediate drilling testing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Visual intersection of drill hole GRO23-23 showing semi-massive sulphide zone of zinc and lead.
