Holes AL08-23 to AL08-25 were drilled to outline a north-south band of massive sulphides at the western limit of the mined out area between the 7th and 9th levels. True widths represent about 50-55% of core lengths. Holes AL08-27, AL08-28 and AL08-30 were drilled to outline additional mineralisation between surface and the second level. True widths represent about 90% of core length.

At Abcourt-Barvue, hole AB08-01 was drilled in a north-south direction with a 53 degrees dip on section 5700E in an area not previously drilled, to increase the proven ore reserves. It intersected first a band of low grade material which averaged 59.33 g/t Ag and 1.03 % Zn over 7.0 meters. This was followed by a 4.0-meter band of better material which averaged 146.92 g/t Ag and 2.62% Zn.
