Other prospects will get attention as time and budget allow, including the flat-lying, near surface, Centennial occurrence on Popof Island close to Sandpoint Port which contains free gold and the Zachary Bay prospect in the north of Unga island where Battle Mountain Gold Corporation drilled a one hundred metre interval of porphyry copper and gold mineralization in the ...
