The bull market for silver and gold continues to spark exploration in the Kirkland Lake and Timiskaming area.
Canada Silver Cobalt Works discovered a fifth high-grade silver vein at its Castle Silver Mine property in Gowganda.
The B.C.-based explorer is 18,000 metres into a 50,000-metre drill program at its Robinson Zone Project, 30 kilometres south of Alamos Gold s Young-Davidson Mine.
A Dec. 29 news release said the vein was intersected within 60 metres of their original discovery vein found in 2011. One particularly rich drill hole yielded 40,944 grams per tonne of silver over a core length of 0.45 metres.
