Episode notes
NE Contention Zone Validated
- Hole 17 confirmed high-grade, near-surface gold-silver mineralization in the NE Contention Zone tied to historic Head Center workings.
- The result extends the oxidized footprint east and north, showing higher gold proportion in those directions.
Record Intercept Boosts Project Upside
- Hole 17 is the best drill intercept at Tombstone to date on a gold-grade*width basis, roughly 40–50% better than previous bests.
- Tombstone repeatedly yields wide, high-grade oxidized mineralization near surface, enhancing exploration upside.
Re-Drill From Lost Circulation
- Hole 17A hit a shallow stope and lost circulation, so the team re-drilled the hole as 17 from the same pad.
- Hole 16 also returned meaningful results, continuing mineralization under the pit floor to the east.
