A secondary exploration target to the northeastern magnetic\nanomaly is partially within the claim group, and previously returned\nup\n \n \n to 1795 ppm (0.179%)\nNi\n \n \n . The third and final exploration target is a\ndefined magnetic low anomaly, which has potential for listwanite\nhosted gold mineralization and has been identified as structurally\nimportant by the Surge geological team.\n \n \n \n \n The budget for this first stage of the 2022 exploration\nprogram is approximately CAD$240,000. Samples are being prepared for\nsubmission to the assay lab by the end of June, with results expected\nfor ICP analysis in 4-5 weeks and the DTR (“Davis Tube Recovery”\nis a magnetic separation technique) to follow within another 3-4 weeks\npost ICP analysis. The second phase of the 2022 summer exploration\nprogram will begin starting in July at the ...
