The Avoca project consists of approximately 7,300 hectares of land prospective for base metals in southeastern Ireland, and is 100% owned by Bayswater Uranium. The property was once a significant copper producer with historical production estimated at 12 million tonnes of ore averaging 0.75% copper. The Avoca deposit is considered to be a typical volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit that contains a copper rich core and marginal zinc and lead rich zones with significant gold and silver credits. At West Avoca, a historical resource estimate of 6 million tonnes averaging 5.3% Zn and 1.9% Pb (non NI 43-101 compliant) was interpreted by Noranda Exploration to remain accessible through existing flooded underground workings down to a depth of 250 metres (m). The Kilmacco Zone in East Avoca has excellent potential for additional resources of near surface zinc-lead-silver-gold mineralization. The currently defined mineralized horizon of the Kilmacco zone extends over a 2 kilometre (km) strike length and has been drilled to...
