o 1m at 16.3% zinc, 12.1% lead and 624g/t silver from 156m depth
and
o 6m at 6.8% zinc, 0.9% lead and 58g/t silverfrom 161m
·; Hole PTDD096 (Cathedral Vein) also returned grades of 2m at 5.9% zinc, 1.1% lead and 84g/t silver from 142m including 1.0m at 9.8% zinc, 2.2% lead, 148g/t silver and 0.59g/t gold from 143m depth, and 2.0m at 7.3% zinc, 2.6% lead and 163g/t silver from 149m including 1.0m at 10.9% zinc, 4.4% lead and 262g/t silver from 149m.
·; Results from diamond drill hole PTDD085 (Cathedral Vein) include grades of 8m at 3.8% zinc, 2.1% lead and 63g/t silver from 227m including 5.0m at 5.2% zinc, 2.8% lead and 86g/t silver from 230m depth.
·; Results from diamond drill hole PTDD069 (Cathedral Vein) include grades of 8m at 3.3% zinc, 0.7% lead and 43g/t silver from 197m including 2.0m at 7.8% zinc, 1.3% lead and 103g/t silver from 203m depth.
Herencia's Managing Director Michael Bohm commented "Again, Patricia appears to be delivering these consistent grade profiles. PTDD096 is a good hole and we have further deeper assays from this hole pending. Drilling is progressing on site and we expect to complete the Patricia drill program prior to Christmas."
