From the RNS dated 3rd July:
"Drill hole M2-041 is currently at 1,503 feet (458 metres). The last 200 feet (61 metres) of this vertical drill hole has intercepted intense hydrothermal alteration and mineralisation at the projected base of the M2-Sharktooth Dunlap caprock. The unexpectedly thick alteration and mineralisation, in the form of multiply-silicified, quartz-magnetite, hydrothermal breccia, appears to have taken the place of, or is very likely above, the copper and gold-bearing diorite. Drilling will continue through the hydrothermal breccia and is expected to then encounter the mineralised diorite intrusive.
The last 10 metres of drill hole M2-041, besides intersecting numerous large vugs and voids from one to several feet in width, has been characterised by even more intense, multiple quartz and quartz-magnetite breccia, banding, and flooding than intervals above. The intensely altered and mineralised core from 1050 to 1480 feet (320-450 metres) is currently undergoing assay, with the results expected around the end of the month."
And then at the end of the RNS:
"We are very excited by the discovery of the highly anomalous hydrothermal breccia at M2. Our geological team are very encouraged by observations made during core logging."
So my understanding is they have found 1 formation that they are excited about and also not expecting. Then there is the possibility that there will be a 2nd formation that they were expecting but had not yet hit. The additional drilling announced in this same RNS was to expand on this first formation and get a better understanding of it.
Hope that helps? Andrew
