A total of 1,100 metres of diamond drilling has been completed across three pad locations down to depths of up to 400 metres (Figure 7), with all holes intersecting mineralized skarn horizons; assay results are pending.
Near surface mineralization beginning at ~25 metres, and interval widths up to 46 metres in drill core, includes a thick, continuous interval of intensely skarn altered rock from 256.5 to 302.5 metres: true thicknesses currently unknown.
The mineralization style suggests the potential for a large, multistage skarn system developed along the marble–schist contacts and intrusive margins.

(B) Mineralization within the skarn unit consists of zones of massive sulphides as well as less intense foliaform chalcopyrite.Figure 2 – Hole BR25-002 at 125m. (A) Closeup of massive pyrrhotite > chalcopyrite in skarn zone approaching contact with a thick granodiorite dyke. (B) Mineral assemblage appears to be dominantly chlorite-quartz with zones of massive and clustered sulfide Pyrrhotite > Chalcopyrite, changing to chalcopyrite dominant downhole.Figure 3 – Hole BR25-002 at 140m.
