🤠 Bend Drilling Delivers

GreenLight Metals Inc. (TSXV: GRL | OTCQB: GRLMF) reported new drill results from the Bend VMS Project in Wisconsin, USA.

Highlights:

  • 52.18 metres of 1.12 g/t gold (1.28% copper equivalent), including:

    • 10.82 metres of 2.49 g/t gold (2.75% copper equivalent).

  • 42.12 metres of 1.31 g/t gold (1.50% copper equivalent), including:

    • 15.40 metres of 2.06 g/t gold (2.31% copper equivalent).

  • 18.75 metres of 0.53% copper, 0.93 g/t gold, 5.81 g/t silver and 118.76 g/t tellurium (1.52% copper equivalent), including:

    • 10.07 metres of 0.96% copper, 1.09 g/t gold, 9.98 g/t silver and 191.35 g/t tellurium (2.12% copper equivalent).

The results continue to expand mineralisation at the Bend deposit, with drilling extending both the broad gold-bearing footwall zone and the copper-rich VMS horizon.

Additional assays are pending as GreenLight continues to test the system along strike and at depth.
