Abcourt ABI.V would be one to take a look at. They have been screaming higher on huge relative volume since around xmas. They released the below drill results a little over a month ago. Market cap is still only at about $17 million.
Abcourt Announces First Drilling Results on Abcourt-Barvue Property
Mr. Renaud Hinse, President and Chief Executive Officer of Abcourt Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ABI - News; FRANKFURT:ABI - News; BERLIN:ABI - News; the "Company") announce that the Company has received the first assay results from its surface diamond drilling program on its Abcourt- Barvue silver-zinc property. The drilling was done on sections 5625 E to 5730 E at depths ranging from 150 to 200 meters from surface to improve the quality of the resources and to augment them. This is done to justify an increase in the size of the proposed mill from 650,000 tonnes to 1,000,000 tonnes annually and at the same time, to reduce the unit mining costs by treating a larger volume of ore annually. As indicated by the following results, this program is very successful, giving on the average of 7.7 ounces of silver and 2.09% zinc per tonne and it is continuing. This drilling program is part of our 2010 drilling program and is paid with funds raised in December 2009.
