Better results at Mt. Washington

A further 25 holes have been drilled in the Lakeview area at Better Resources’ Mt. Washington project near Courtenay, B.C. The vein zone now extends over a north-south length of 900 ft and an east-west width of 800 ft with thicknesses ranging up to 23 ft.

Grades vary between 0.29 oz gold over a 1.9-ft thickness to 0.18 oz over 23.2 ft. The latter intersection is 550 ft east of the adit where sampling has also yielded some impressive results. The average of six samples was 0.77 oz gold and 3.4 oz silver, the company notes. A total of 1,000 ft of underground development is planned.

Drilling is continuing with two rigs in the Lakeview Central area on a 200×150-ft pattern. This will permit the calculation of a new reserve estimate, the company confirms.
