The historic Hanson Lake Mine was a high-grade Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag producer from 1967 to 1969 with production of 162,000 tons at 10% Zn, 5.8% Pb, 0.5% Cu and 125 g/t Ag. Mining was only developed to 170 metres below surface and according to records, the deepest hole below development workings was drilled to 213 metres. Mineralization is considered to be open at depth and preliminary geological interpretations suggest other horizons within the volcanic rock sequence may be mineralized. 

In February 2020, three holes, totaling 557 metres, were drilled to test geological targets along the other horizon of mineralization and results were encouraging. 

Current & Anticipated Work

A full review of available geophysical surveys is being undertaken and results will be integrated within the compilation of all drilling in this area.
