Drill Highlights:2.51 g/t Au over 47.24 metres from 86.87 m in drill hole PC18-031.00 g/t Au over 92.97 metres from 50.29 m in drill hole PC18-040.53 g/t Au over 59.44 metres from 1.52 m in drill hole PC18-020.91 g/t Au over 27.43 metres from 28.96 m in drill hole PC18-01\"We are very pleased with these initial results, particularly the intersection of the best high-grade oxide gold zone in a step out hole so far from the western edge of the Bowl Zone at Pony Creek.
