An earthworks contractor is on site building roads\nand drill pads for the upcoming reverse circulation (RC) drilling\ncampaign.  A drilling contract has been signed with Alford Drilling\nand regulatory permits are in hand for 20 RC drill holes on our\npatented claims. Drilling is expected to start in February.\n \n \n \n \n Mr. Greg Hahn, VP Exploration commented,\n \n \n “We are excited to commence 2023\nexploration drilling on the Philadelphia project.  To date, due to a\nlack of access we have been unable to drill the “GAP” between two\nexcellent fences of holes located 300 meters apart.  With the\ncompletion of the new earthworks we will be in a position to drill\nthis critical segment of the Philadelphia system.\n \n \n \n \n “The fences of drill holes on\nnorth and south of the GAP contain thick intervals of stockwork quartz\nwith gold mineralization surrounding a high-grade vein internal to the\noverall mineralized zone.  In addition, the untested area of the GAP\nis a concavity in the Arabian Fault, a fundamental control of\nmineralization. Such concavities in the controlling fault system\nwithin the nearby Oatman gold mining district host the highest grades\nand thickest vein intercepts.“\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click Image To View Full Size\n \n \n \n \n Roadwork and drill pad construction is expected to take\ntwo weeks.
