Rees commented “We’re\nexcited to get a head start on Golden Cariboo’s 2023 exploration\nprogram, which will include diamond drilling and ancillary geological\nwork. Clearing roads and trails of snow while the project is in\nfreezing temperatures, will save the exploration and drilling teams a\nsignificant amount of time during the snow melt and subsequent drying\nperiods which can leave certain areas temporarily inaccessible due to\nsoft ground conditions.
