Drilling Program Commenced:
The phase 1 drill program will total 3,500 metre, and the first 1,000m tranche has commenced. The program will test 2-5 targets including intersections of a collection of east-northeast-trending veins and a slaty pyritic and graphitic metasedimentary rock unit known locally as the Evelyn vein. The program will attempt to characterize the mineralization in the intersection between the wide mineralized zone and the slaty band, plus drill the mapped but previously untested veins along the projected strike of this slaty unit. The Company will report assays as they become available.
