New assays up to 2,240 g/t Ag & 51.2 g/t Au in 'Western Silver Zone'
HIGHLIGHTS
March 2025 Tolmer discovery hole interval of 6m @ 4,747 g/t Ag from only 46m depth1
Re-assay of silver discovery hole also now confirms high-grade gold (4m @ 13.2g/t Au) from 48m, with silver up to 117 g/t Ag intersected within fresh rock zone for first time
Key significant new assays:
