One of the \"3As\", which comprise a total of 217 claims covering about 130 square kilometres, Apollo is wholly owned by Tarku and straddles 20 km of the Sunday Lake Fault, host of the Detour Lake Mine.Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku Resources, said: \"This first drilling program on Apollo was a true success, as wide altered gold-bearing structures were intersected on four of six target areas, enabling us to confirm the presence of an orogenic system with similar characteristics to the Detour Lake mine system. The discovery hole AP-22-07, drilled on the edge of a magnetic high, is of particular interest as it intersected four significant structures, each more than 10 metres wide. The extensive alterations observed and the long, continuous gold intersections relating to a regional deformation zone associated with syenite intrusions are features of the type of deposit Tarku is looking for. Now that we know we have a gold-bearing system on Apollo, we will do more drilling in that area to confirm its potential both along strike and at depth. Our next drilling program will also focus on confirming the continuity of the gold-bearing structures identified thus far.\"First drilling program on the Apollo projectIn December 2022, Tarku carried out an initial drilling program on its Apollo project, consisting of 3,04...
