NQ Exploration Reports Further Drilling Results from Carheil Project

NQ Exploration has announced additional results from the summer drilling at its Carheil project. It has cut the Ag1 zone to 295 m of vertical depth through the fourth drill hole CA2011-021 and validated the mineralized zone potential. The company has cut 85.3 g/t silver over 36 m and 210.0 g/t silver, 0.80% zinc over 9.0 m in the zone.

Additionally, NQ has intersected 0.57% of high-grade zinc over 75 m and 19 g/t silver, 1.46% zinc over 4.5 m at the improvement zone. It has cut a copper zone in the hole CA2011-018 and yielded 15.2 g/t silver, 1.79% copper, 0.11% zinc over 3 m.

The company has got the results of the hole CA2011-019 that cut the zone close to the surface. These results signify this as a localized weakness region in the zone, which cuts two low-grade zones in the hole.

NQ has gained confidence by this drill hole CA2011-021 results, authenticating the presence of a plurimetric-sized, high-grade zone in a decametric low-grade silver mineralization cover. High-grade dilution will be found in this feature during the production. Stopes alteration is done for adding considerable tonnage by digging some or all of the mineralized envelope should the price of silver rise. The deposit provides a high level of flexible mining.

The company has drilled 4,700 m, totaling 15 holes to examine this silver zone at the depth between 50 and 600 m vertically. It has obtained the results of three holes and is continuing the drilling program.
