Sunrise Resources (LON:SRES) has intersected high grades of silver in all of its first three drill holes at its Bay State silver project in Nevada.
Best grades included 1,460 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (42.6 oz/ton), 566 g/t and 503 g/t over narrow widths at depths below 70 metres.
Sunrise added the results from the Chihuahua vein system were as expected from 3-D modelling, while there were also high grade discoveries outside the known vein system.
Patrick Cheetham, executive chairman, said he was pleased with the success so far, but added that only a small portion of the licence had been explored, with drilling widely spaced and relatively shallow.
“We need to drill many more holes to get a true picture of the silver mineralisation but this is an excellent start."
