Dr.
Cantex is pleased to report results from a further 21 drill holes from its 2022 drill program at the North Rackla project. Eighteen holes remain to be analyzed and will be reported when complete.
Drilling from pads MZ55 and MZ55A at the Discovery Sector extended the

Highlights from this drilling at the Discovery Sector include a 12.5 metre intercept in hole YKDD22-260 which contains 7.1% lead-zinc and 24 g/t silver. Within this intercept was a 1.5 metre high grade zone containing 23.17% lead-zinc and 50 g/t silver.
During 2022 the Company tested three regional targets within the North Rackla claim block. One was targeting copper and the other two were for gold. So far significant results have only been received from drilling at the copper target which returned one metre of 7.32% copper within 2.5 metres of 3.93% copper. These results are presented in Table 3.

Germanium is integral to many modern technologies, including fibre-optic systems, the highest efficiency solar cells and high-brightness light-emitting-diodes used in televisions and vehicle headlights. As there is a very limited western supply it has been classified as a Critical Element in both

The drill holes reported in this press release were drilled using HQ (63.5mm) diamond drill bits. The core was logged, marked up for sampling and then divided into equal halves using a diamond saw on site. One half of the core was left in the original core box. The other half was sampled and placed into sealed bags which were in turn placed into larger bags closed with security seals prior to being transported to
At CF Minerals the drill core was dried prior to crushing to -10 mesh. The samples, which averaged over 3kg, were then mixed prior to splitting off 800g. The 800g splits were pulverized to -200 mesh and a 250g split was sent for assay. Quality control procedures included running a barren sand sample through both the crusher and pulveriser between each sample to ensure no inter-sample contamination occurred. Silica blanks were inserted along with certified reference samples. These quality control samples were each inserted approximately every 20 samples.
For germanium analyses a piece of split core approximately 15cm in length containing sphalerite was selected and submitted to
