Groundhog Mining & Milling Company (the "Contractor") is on location and will continue work toexpandand explore the existing tunnel. A second diamond drilling program under previously mined stopes will be completed. An additional target of the diamond drilling program is to intersect the vein of the Arlise Mine which was a past producer of gold and silver. Previous surface sampling of the exposed face of the Arlise vein that was completed in 2018 produced assay results ranging from 18.14 g/pt. to 19.65 g/pt. for gold and 150.25 g/pt. to 212.65 oz/pt. for silver.The Contractor has already begun work to continue opening the historic tunnel by slabbing and clearing debris for the purpose of accessing previously mined stopes. This seasons operational plan for the Lucky Ben was developed from data obtained during last season's work including the diamond drill program that proved the down-dip extension of the vein exposed along the Lucky Ben Adit by J.A Czizek during work in the early 1900's. J.A Czizek was considered the most scientific miner of his era.Highlights from the 2021 diamond drill program included a leading assay result of 23.58 g/t and the average assay result for the 6 holes drilled was 8 g/t as reported by the Company Geologist, Richard Morris. Dan Hally, Chief Operations Officerused the following comparison to explain the significance of these assay results, "the World Gold Council defines a high-quality underground mine as having a gold ore density between 8 and 10 g/t and we are pleased that our results are multiples above what is considered high quality through the results of our first diamond drill program"The exploration program has been designed to confirm the information uncovered during an exhaustive review of historical records that provided a wealth of information regarding past production work completed on the Lucky Ben. News articles from the historic Warren Times reported in 1868 the Lucky Ben produced ore containing 5 to 18 ounces per ton. Historical exploration records from Goldstone Corporation which completed exploration work on the Lucky Ben during the period from 1983...
