Highlights:
President Noah Komavli; “I’m impressed with the visual results I see in the core of our first hole which shows strong silicification, quartz carbonate veins, disseminated, cubic, and stringer form pyrite throughout considerable core length - starting at surface. The drill is now in position on the second pad and casing has been inserted for TAK-26-02.”
TAK-26-01
TAK-26-01 was a step out twin of TAK-99-10, designed to validate and undercut the historic hole. Importantly, this hole, as well as the first few holes following, were designed to confirm historical mineralization and aim to validate the dip of the mineralized stockwork corridors, while simultaneously testing beyond the known limits of the system at depth.
