From the last press release

Quote:
This portion of the Veta Madre structure carries
bonanza grade silver as well as important base metal credits.
You don't say!
Quote:
High grade intersections continue to be generated from both surface and
underground drilling as highlighted by hole VMP-18, which returned 1,014
g/t Ag, 2.31 % Pb and 1.82 % Zn over 4.50 m; VMP-17, which returns 351
g/t over 5.40 m and hole VMS-12 which intersected 550 g/t Ag over 5.05 m.
Of course they are, Real de Catorce was not a major mining district for no reason. It is a powerful geological expression you're dealing with here.
Quote:
In addition to the Veta Madre intercepts, drilling along the Purisima
depth extension is yielding significant results from the Refugio vein as
well as other footwall and hanging wall veins to the Veta Madre.
Well ya! The Veta Madre vein is not some lackluster seep vein; what we got here is major hydrothermal slice of heaven...cooled to perfection of course.
Quote:
It should also be noted that these holes are the
westernmost intercepts released to date on the Purisima oreshoot. The
oreshoot remains wide open to the west and at depth.
Yes indeedie! How about you boys see if you can find the bottom?
Quote:
Systematic surface drilling of the Veta Madre structure continues to
yield the expected silver grade mineralization. In-fill drilling is being
performed at 40-50m spacing, from surface down to the 150 metre level
approximately.
Good! That means you will be defining many wonderful OZ's for us then.
Quote:
Hole VMS-23 is the westernmost hole drilled from surface on Veta Madre
to date. Once again, mineralization is wide open to the west and at
depth. On the other hand, VMS-12 is the easternmost intercept from
surface released to date. The mineralized structure remains wide open to
the east as well.
This is really starting to strain my peripheral vision, hee hee!

Mr. Robert Ayotte, President of Normabec commented that, "we are very
pleased with the results achieved during this phase of drilling at Real
de Catorce. These results only add to our confidence that the systematic
exploration program we are undertaking will return Real de Catorce to the
prolific mining district it once was."
Well, Robert. I never did doubt that for a second.
