The highest-grade interval to be re-assayed\nshowed the largest grade increase, 42.2% (51 gpt to 72.5 gpt) gold. A\ntotal of 24 samples of both high and low-grade material were\nre-assayed if they contained visible gold.  The samples were all from\nthe spring 2023 reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling campaign.\n \n \n \n \n Mr. Greg Hahn, VP Exploration commented,\n“\n \n \n Re-assaying of samples\nwith coarse gold is a normal industry practice to gauge if grades are\nbeing underestimated simply because a standard 30-gram sample for fire\nassay can miss coarse gold that might not be represented in a 30-gram\nsplit.. Re-assaying on 24 samples is considered statistically\nmeaningful as we assayed both higher and lower grade material. For all\n24 samples the average grade increased by 25.9%.”\n \n \n \n \n “Going forward we will routinely\nre-assay high-grade intervals and use the metallic screen technique\nalso on duplicate samples to resolve potential assay discrepancies\nwhen our geologist identifies coarse gold in his logging. In due\ncourse when Philadelphia advances into the evaluation phase much more\nre-assaying will be done. In the meantime, I am delighted that our\nproject continues to have positive outcomes as we continue drilling\noff this deposit”\n \n \n added Greg Hahn\n \n \n .\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Reassay 1\n \n \n \n \n Reassay 2\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Method\n \n \n \n \n Au-SCR21\n \n \n \n \n Au-SCR21\n \n \n \n \n Au-SCR21\n \n \n \n \n Au-AA25\n \n \n \n \n Au-AA25D\n \n...
