Summary
Black Bear Minerals Limited has announced significant progress in its Shafter Project in Texas, USA, following twin-hole drilling and the re-analysis of historic cores. The analysis has revealed higher silver and polymetallic mineralization, including a notable intercept of 8.5m at 525g/t silver, with a peak of 1,360g/t. Additionally, a 147% increase in contained silver from a historic intercept was observed. The results have strengthened the company's confidence in the project's mineralized system, prompting an extension of the historic core review to all available legacy drill programs. This review aims to facilitate the conversion to JORC compliance, an upgrade of the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), and the Rapid Mine Restart Study.
