The drilling on the Argo and Eagle's Nest zones has indicated that mineralization is hosted by black mud lapilli tuffs that appear to have repeat sections due to thrusting and faulting. Mineralized zones host various sulphides including pyrite, sphalerite, galena and tetrahedrite along with sections mineralized by fine acicular arsenopyrite. Intersections in the Argo zone have been up to 30 m long within some of the drill holes. Drilling in 2020 has outlined the Argo zone over at least 500 m of strike length, open to depth and along strike. Logging and diamond sawing of the core continues with 2 separate core cutting stations. Assays are awaited.Attached is a photo of VG from the saw cutting on the \"14 oz\" zone and from an intersection in DDH-20-23, the first hole into this promising area.E. Kruchkowski, President of the Company states: \"Hitting visible gold in the first hole in the Del Norte-Lord Nelson boundary area confirms the potential of this new zone and validates the high-grade gold results obtained in surface sampling. We are very pleased with this result and also with the lengthy intersections being obtained in the Argo drilling.\" Exploration work is being conducted from Stewart in order to avoid a camp si...
