The company reported it has received a NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation for the PD1 deposit from partner Xstrata Canada Corporation - Xstrata Zinc Canada Division ('Xstrata Zinc').
The combined mineral resource (measured and indicated) is 1.74 million tonnes grading 4.55% zinc, 1.16% copper and 19.88g/t silver located between 25 and 515 metres vertical depth and is based on 24 new holes drilled in 2010 in the upper portion of the deposit, above 100 metres vertical depth, and 50 historical drill holes completed between 1973 and 1976 that defined the previous extent of mineralization.
Measured resources of 0.6 million tonnes grading 4.34% zinc, 0.83% copper, 19.59g/t silver and 0.12g/t gold occur between 25 and 100 metres vertical depth. The remaining indicated resources are based solely on a re-evaluation of historical drill results.
