Closer spacing of the holes allowed company geologists to differentiate between many gold-bearing shear zones east of the pits and extending the shear done down to 400 metres to the east. The best assay was 27.8 g/t gold over 3.0 metres from hole MB-17-111 about 300 metres below surface. There were other very high grades – 30.5 g/t, 15.7 g/t and 35.1 g/t – but the individual lengths were less than a metre. All grades are uncapped. A third drill rig has been deployed 1 km northeast of the mining lease to follow up on the results of a geophysical aerial survey completed this summer. The Barry project is a former producer with almost 44,000 oz. of gold to its credit. Between 2008 and 2010, 624,414 tonnes grading 2.2 g/t were extracted from three small pits. Metanor’s goal is to increase resources below the pits in the high grade shear zones. It has yet to conduct bulk sampling or a prefeasibility study.
