- GB-23-09 intersecting 3.46% copper over 8.2 metres, including 4.58% copper over 6.2 metres, including 6.75% copper over 4 metres, including 9.59% copper over 1 metre.
- GB-23-11 grading 1.88% copper over 15.7 metres, including 2.31% coper over 12.7 metres, including 4.02% copper over 3 metres.
“These latest results continue to demonstrate the potential for significant expansion of the robust system at Great Burnt. We are looking forward to further assay results as we prepare for our winter exploration program designed to expand the deposit,” said Benton president and CEO Stephen Stares.
