Both drill holes are located on the west end of the Hurricane zone, approximately 75 metres apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is gratifying to see these substantial thicknesses of strong pitchblende mineralization in the drill core from Drill 1 early in our winter program,\u201d said Steve Blower, the firm\u2019s vice-president of exploration, in a statement. \u201cThe results bode well for additional drill holes in this campaign, particularly on the western side of the Hurricane zone.
