Hana Mining hits copper-silver in Botswana

摘要

New results from the Ghanzi copper-silver project in Botswana show promising grades for owner Hana Mining (HMG-V). Hana drilled nine reverse-circulation (RC) holes at Ghanzi and hit mineralization in seven, extending the strike length at Zone 5 to 2,000 metres. The company is exploring six mineralized zones within the 4,370-sq.-km project and first hit mineralization at Zone 5 in October. One of those hits - hole 25 - returned the best intercept on the property to date: 30 metres of 2.06 percent copper and 16.9 grams silver per tonne. In subsequent drilling, five holes stretched out along 800 metres of strike to the southwest returned mineralized intercepts. From 200 metres southwest of hole 25, hole 26 cut 21 metres grading 1.48 percent copper and 17.9 grams silver from 66 metres depth. Collared on the same section, hole 27 hit 18 metres averaging 1.32 percent copper and 14.2 grams silver.
