This program should take 3-4 weeks to complete which will coincide with the commencement of drilling at the Forrest Kerr Project. This year, the Company plans to extend its drilling season one month by initiating this 2000-meter drill program at the Justin Gold Project prior to commencement of drilling at its Forrest Kerr Gold Project located in BC’s Golden Triangle region.
