270 oz/ton gold (see table above); FC0802 and FC0803 had thick intercepts (53 to 78 feet true width) of quartz-opal-calcite stockwork mineralization ("stockwork" is a network of "veinlets" in the host rock).
Drill hole CHU WEST 07-20 was drilled at an Azimuth 250 degrees and a dip angle of -45 degrees to test the width of the quartz-molybdenum stockwork zone which strikes northwest and hosts the significant molybdenum mineralization at CHU over the discovery's 1700 meter length.
CHU 07-19 initially encountered lower grade Mo-mineralization in hanging wall rocks and then entered the main stockwork zone at 201 meters.
