The Property is situated in the prolific Eskay camp of the Golden Triangle in northwestern\n \n British Columbia\n \n , a fertile region known for its past producing Eskay creek and Snip gold mines, Seabridge's KSM porphyry deposits and Pretium's producing Brucejack gold mine, amongst others.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ZTEM technology is exclusive to Geotech and is used to measure the variations in naturally occurring electromagnetic (\"EM\") fields produced by thunderstorms around the globe. These variations in the EM fields help detect the resistivity contrast in rock structures and zones of sulphide mineralization in multiple intrusions and its hydrothermal alteration and silicification. ZTEM can measure these contrasts up to 2 km deep, which is ideal for the exploration of the structurally controlled 4 km-long copper-gold Cliff Porphyry System which forms part of the larger 7.5 km-long Hawilson Monzonite Complex (or \"HM\") in the central area of the Property (\n \n Click here to View Map\n \n ).\n \n \n Metallis' Chief Geologist - Dr. Abdul Razique, PhD. P. Geo – commented, \"Our key objective for the 2021 season is to identify and drill those deeper porphyry core zones along the Cliff Porphyry System. Based on the space-time distribution and sub-vertical morphology of the Cliff porphyry intrusions, the ZTEM is expected to provide vectors towards the deeper potassic core zones and distribution of copper-gold mineralization\". He added, \"These surveys have shown to be an effec...
