The company said it found 11 discrete intervals of high-grade silver of more than 100g/t in seven of the 12 holes drilled.
It said those intercepts occurred as antimony-rich silver sulphosalts in polymetallic veins, feeder breccias and stratiform beds, returning grades from 103g/t-1,206g/t silver, up to 11.1% zinc and up to 2.07g/t gold.

The company has an option over the Hazelton project in Price Creek valley and has built the original 2,396ha to 44,482ha through a staking and acquisition programme.

Shares in the company, which was known as Jaxon Minerals until August, have ranged between C4.8-40.8c over the past year and closed down 4c or 14% on Friday to 24.5c.
