Results from drilling deep, unexplored veins at the historic McCabe Mine in Arizona indicate the once-abandoned site could again produce high-quality gold, Arizona Eagle Mining Corp. said on May 6.

“These initial results are an excellent start to the ... drill program, validating our belief that significant high-grade gold and silver mineralization remains above and beyond the historic resource,” said Kevin Reid, chief executive officer of Arizona Eagle.
