TAD Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TJ) has announced that it has been informed by the operator that six NQ diameter diamond drill holes totaling 804 meters (2,637.1 ft) have been completed on the Hazelton North Project.
Five holes (SD10DDH-1 to5) were directed at the Camp Zone quartz-sulphide veins. One drill hole (SD10DDH-6), was targeted towards the West Creek Zone. All six holes intersected mineralization.
The program was successful in outlining previously mapped surface mineralization at depth. A total of 325 core samples have been submitted to Acme Labs of Vancouver, BC. A total of 17 blank rock chip samples (non-mineralized monzonite) were inserted for data verification purposes. Results from these samples are expected to be returned within 4-8 weeks.
Jason Gigliotti, a director of TAD stated, "We are pleased that the drilling intersected mineralization in each hole. We look forward to the results from this drill program which is TAD's primary drill project."
Andris Kikauka, P.Geo. has reviewed the technical data in this news release.
