Honey Badger Exploration’s (TSX: TUF) stock was up over 16% after the Canadian junior announced drill results from its Thunder Bay, Ontario silver-cobalt project – Beaver.
The 2,000-metre drilling program was completed in June, a follow-up to the successful 2018 drilling program, where significant high-grade silver mineralization, comprising 682 g/t silver over 1.1 metres (true width) including 1,254 g/t silver over 0.6 metres (true width) was intersected in the Beaver vein.
This year’s program intersected the Beaver vein, which contains 1,025 g/t AgEq over 4 metres (core length), including 1,701 g/t AgEq over 2.4 metres.
A second high-grade silver vein, distinct from the Beaver Vein, was intersected
Four of the holes reported here were successful at extending, 35 metres down-dip, the high-grade silver mineralization of the Beaver Vein, Honey Badger said.
A second high-grade silver vein, distinct from the Beaver Vein, was intersected indicating that more than one silver-containing vein set is likely in the vicinity of the Beaver mine. Results for 8 holes are still pending.
Honey Badger’s Thunder Bay project include the Beaver Silver, Silver Mountain and Mink Mountain silver properties. There are a total of 12 past producing, high grade mines on the property.
Honey Badger says it will also investigate the cobalt potential at the Beaver project.
