(\"Godbe\") from\n \n Colorado\n \n has been retained to drill 11,000 feet (3,250 meters) infill and metallurgical drilling targeting the Burro and Copper Chief deposits at JCM. The purpose of this drilling is to support the planned restart of copper mining at JCM.\n \n \n \n \"We are moving quickly on key items related to the JCM restart, which, once operational, will provide cash flow while the raffinate neutralization plant is being designed and built for our flagship asset, the Gunnison Copper Mine.\"\n \n Comments Stephen Twyerould, President and CEO of Excelsior Mining.\n \n \n Godbe will also conduct 10,000 feet (3,050 meters) of infill and metallurgical drilling for S&H, as well as 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) in exploration drilling. Exploration drilling will evaluate a magnetic anomaly similar in size and intensity as the nearby S&H deposit. This anomaly is closer to the center of the JCM mineralized system than S&H and as such is a high priority target. The exploration drilling will also target an IP (Induced Polarization) anomaly along strike of known mineralization in the Peabody sill. See image.\n \n \n The plan is to first drill the JCM deposit infill and metallurgical holes. These holes will be completed before the end of Q1, 202...
