Silver Bull Resources SVBL is pleased to announce it will expand its underground Termite "twinning" drill program presently targeting the "high grade silver zone" into the "high grade zinc zone," a zone of mineralization which sits adjacent to and below the silver mineralization. The planned initial program in the high grade zinc zone will consist of 2,000 meters of diamond core drilling.
Highlights include:
The 2,000 meter underground "core" drill program will target the zinc "exploration target" situated below and adjacent to the Shallow Silver Zone, defined primarily by historical "long hole" drilling and channel samples.
Long holes and channel samples were either restricted to a 5m x 5m x 20m sphere of influence or disregarded in the July 5, 2012 NI43-101 resource report completed by SRK Consulting (Canada), Inc. ("SRK") and resulted in SRK defining the Zinc Zone as an "exploration target".
Of the 924 long holes with >4% Zn which currently define the high grade zone of the zinc "exploration target," 517 holes have average weighted intercepts >8% Zn and include; 27.78% Zn over 11 meters, 25.43% Zn over 9 meters, 24.35% Zn over 13 meters, and 21.89% Zn over 11 meters.
Silver Bull intends to increase the "confidence" in the 2,700 historical long hole data set, which represents 37,873 meters of underground drilling, by twinning and comparing the assay results with nearby long holes, and subsequently upgrade the "exploration target" to a NI43-101 compliant resource.
