Correction (December 02, 2002)

An article on the third-quarter results of Black Hawk Mining ( ) (T.N.M., Nov. 25/02) identified mineralized zones in the Santa Rosa area, south of the Limon mine in Nicaragua, as “steep-dipping veins” with surface exposures 5-8 metres wide.

The mineralized structures are not veins but fault-controlled hydrothermal breccia zones. Grades of 0.5 gram gold and 8.5 grams silver per tonne have been encountered in quartz stringer zones associated with the breccias.
