This maiden drill program will consist of 5-7 prioritized drill holes of 125-200 meters in length.The first holes will target a zone of massive sulfide mineralization intercepted in historic drilling (1970-era) near the Helenegruvan Mine. The first hole will target a shallow zone of mineralization intersected in previous drill holes, but will be assayed for a wider range of elements than the historic drill holes, including gold and PGE. Other holes will test down dip extensions of the mineralization that were not tested by the shallow historic drill holes.The second group of drill targets will focus on a strong magnetic anomaly identified by 2018 ground magnetic surveys in the vicinity of the Myrgruvans Mine. This robust magnetic anomaly is positioned to the east of the mine workings, and has not been tested by historic drilling.Other drill holes will target the western end of the trend of mine workings, where the most voluminous mining took place, and mineralization remains open at depth.Jason Gigliotti, President of Sienna states, \"We are very pleased to be commencing our first major drill program in many years. Our shareholders have been patient and we feel this project has great potential and we are looking forward to what the next few months will return. This phase of drilling will provide a strong start to build on the historic data. We are at the early stages of this project and look forward to bringing this project forward with modern approaches and views at a time when the battery metals sector is gaining significant traction globally.\"Earlier this month, Sienna significantly increased its acreage on its Slättberg Cobalt-Nickel-Copper Project. The Slättberg Cobalt-Nickel-Copper Project now consists of 3 exploration licenses covering 12,733 acres and at least 16 historic mines, with 1 being the historic Mårtanberg copper mine, which was operated in the late 1700's and early 1800's. The Mårtanberg field is known for its co...
