We are also testing a significant amount of new ground\nthat in the past was covered by glaciers.”\n \n \n \n \n The mapping and sampling program will augment\nprospecting and sampling conducted by Deer Horn in 2012, which\ndiscovered several significant mineralized zones. As noted in the\nCompany’s 2018 Preliminary Economic Assessment:\n \n \n \n \n “The new Saddle, New Vein, Pry Bar and New West zones\nextend the overall strike length of the Deer Horn gold-silver vein\nsystem to more than 2,400 m, and it remains open to the west. The\nH-Spot and Pond zones are new discoveries of porphyry-style\ncopper+/-gold+/-silver mineralization and associated alteration. They\nare located at the head of the valley north of the Deer Horn adit and\n2.3 km west of Lindquist Peak in an area with no known exploration\nhistory. A second area of anomalous, porphyry-style copper-gold\nmineralization occurs on a ridge crest 1.8 km northwest of Kenney\nLake. All of the newly...
