This delineation phase (10,000 metres, 30 holes) is designed to extend the discovery along strike and to a depth of 350 metres using a systematic 50-metre-spaced drilling pattern. The Patwon Zone is a steeply dipping mineralized body currently defined over a strike length of 500 metres, a depth of 250 metres and a true width of up to 80 metres (\n \n see press release of\n \n November 30, 2020\n \n \n ). Preliminary visual observations of the drill core are comparable to descriptions of previous holes, particularly the quartz veining, pyrite mineralization, strong alteration and native gold grains.\n \n \n A second drill rig was mobilized this week to start testing 10 quality targets in the Patwon Zone vicinity with 5,000 metres in 30 holes. The targets, located in a priority corridor 8 kilometres long by 3 kilometres wide, were defined and ranked based on the spatial coincidence of the following parameters (\n \n see press release of\n \n March 18, 2021\n \n \n ):\n \n \n \n Prospecting data, including high-grade undrilled gold prospects\n \n \n Induced polarization anomalies\n \n \n Gold clusters in glacial sediments\n \n \n Interpreted shear zones\n \n \n \n The drilling program is expected to be completed by mid-June. Approximately 3,100 core samples have already been sent to AGAT Laboratories...
