Drilling at the North molybdenum biogeochemical target consisted of a total of 732 metres in three holes and drilling at the Ridge Tungsten Zone consisted of a total of 1,170 metres in four holes. Sampling of all cores is complete and all samples are currently at the assay laboratory. Results will be announced when received and compiled.
