[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 17, 2021) - Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. (CSE: SXTY) (FSE: 2F4) (OTC Pink: SXNTF) (the \"Company\" or \"Sixty North Gold\") Further to the Company's press release on March 8, 2021, Sixty North Gold is pleased to report that a total of just over 500 tonnes of mining and support equipment and supplies have successfully been transported to the property over the past four weeks. This was completed on a 45 km winter road constructed from Highway #4 to the mine site, on time and on budget with a five-man crew working carefully with Yellowknife-based suppliers and contractors. Mine activity is planned to start late spring to early summer, and will see the installation of water, air, electrical, and waste infrastructure. The existing North Ramp is planned to be reopened and extended to access between 30,000 to 40,000 tonnes of vein material beneath the historic stopes. A permitted mill is planned to be installed to process the bulk sample in 2022. John Campbell, Chairman states, \"We've liked the idea of generating revenue from high-grade operations. We've acquired the right to earn a 100% interest in a project that keeps derisking operations going forward. Obtaining permits to mine and mill was an important milestone. Getting good quality heavy equipment to Yellowknife was an important milestone and now, placing that equipment on site with all of the bulk supplies moves the operations closer to reality. Keeping to the budgets as developed over the years along the way is crucial in demonstrating our ability to forecast and execute each step.\" Dr. D.R.
