The first phase trenching program, oriented transverse to the prevailing structures, was designed to establish the existence of the mineralisation along strike, while attempting to define controls on its localisation. Sixteen trenches, dug to an average depth of 2.5 m and totalling 3,139 m, were sampled on zones 1 to 3. Highlights of the assay results in the trenches, where the average grade over a mineralized interval of a minimum of 3 m exceeded 7% Mn, are presented in Table 2 below.
