Additional samples from both drill holes have been submitted for assay and will be announced when results are received and interpreted. NRC-20-04 was collared on the same section and targeted to intersect the Candy vein at a lower elevation than NRC-20-01, and NRC-20-03 was collared on the same section and targeted to intersect the Candy vein at a lower elevation than NRC-20-02, as shown on the drill plan map below. Drill holes NRC-20-05 and NRC-20-06, collared 200 metres and 400 metres respectively north of the section hosting NRC-20-01 and NRC-20-04, have been completed and samples submitted for assay.
The current drill program at the Nora project is the first pass at systematic, property-wide exploration. All four initial drill holes have intersected the Candy vein at depth and returned high gold and silver grades, with a notably thicker and higher grade intercept in NRC-20-04. The Candy vein is open to expansion along strike to the north and south, and to depth, and these results confirm the potential for further exploration.
Canasil President and CEO, Bahman Yamini, commented: “The strong high grade intercept from NRC-20-04 is very encouraging at this early stage of drill testing at the Nora project. This relatively wide intercept with high gold and silver grades confirms the potential of the project, and
