Results from holes 8 and 9, reported today, are from the up-dip extension of the main mineralized trend identified on the Project and indicate that the system has the capacity to host high grade gold as noted in Hole TUT-20-008, which returned 10.2 g/t Au over 0.4 m at a vertical depth of 15 metres. Results from holes TUT-20-008 and TUT-20-009 can be found in Table 1 and in Figure 1. In addition to the reported results, BMEX is waiting on assays from over 1,180 samples.
