To date, three phases of sonic drilling, totaling 441 drill holes have been completed across the Project producing  ~1,500 samples for gold grain counts, heavy mineral concentrate assays, and till geochemistry assays.  These drill campaigns have systematically screened the property from the regional scale, covering over 50,000 hectares, down to a coherent gold and multi-element till anomaly (Target B) of approximately 1.5km x 3km in extent.\n \n \n \n Figure 1.
