Hana Mining Ltd. announced its most recent drilling results from the completion of an additional 10 infill diamond drill holes in the Banana Zone at its Ghanzi sediment hosted Copper-Silver Project in Botswana.
Infill drilling was carried out on the South Limb area (between sections 58500 to 59275 at South Limb South) to convert a substantial amount of the NI 43-101 compliant resources within this area into the Indicated category from the Inferred category.
These results are from new holes and are in addition to those used in the most recent NI 43-101 compliant Inferred mineral resource calculation. The mineralization remains open at depth.
Highlights of recent drilling results:
The latest results continue to confirm the continuity of copper-silver mineralization at the South Limb South area of the Banana Zone.
