In Northern Area A, the vanadium mineralization is stratabound and strataform within carbonaceous shale over a strike length of over 2,000 feet with overall widths of up to 360 feet.
The mineralization in this target area alone is projected to be 4 times larger than the original Hecla estimates.
NI 43-101 Indicated and Inferred Resources of vanadium pentoxide mineralization:
10.6 M st of NI 43-101 compliant Indicated Resources at an average grade of 0.39% vanadim pentoxide (V2O5)on Northern Section A alone (700 feet X 100 feet subsection)
Additional 9M st of NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Resources on Northern Section A alone
Stina's drill results from the Northern Area A have been particularly exciting including:
75 feet of 0.95% V2O5 contained within 323 feet of 0.46% V2O5, in DDH-BMK-05-01
132 feet of 0.88% V2O5 contained within 345 feet of 0.53% V2O5 in DDH-BMK - 05-02
116 feet of 0.60 V2O5 contained within 475 feet of V2O5 in DDH-BMK-05-03
300 feet of 0.45% V2O5 in reverse circulation drill hole RC BMK-05-01
120 feet of 0.55% V2O5 and 170 feet of 0.47% V2O5 in RC BMK-05-02
