Drilling is projected to commence mid-June at Tibbs, located less than 35 kilometres (\"km\") from Northern Star Resources Ltd.'s high-grade\n \n Pogo Gold Mine\n \n in\n \n Alaska's\n \n Goodpaster Mining District.  Initial diamond drilling at Tibbs follows up on drill targets identified by the Company's 2019 and 2020 Rotary Air Blast (\"RAB\") drill programs, including high-grade gold-bearing structures at the Michigan Zone (\"Michigan\") which returned 6.71 grams per tonne gold (\"g/t Au\") over\n \n 9.14m\n \n including 19.3 g/t Au over\n \n 3.05m\n \n , and at the Gray Lead Zone (\"Gray Lead\"), where historical drilling returned 19.14 g/t Au over\n \n 5.70m\n \n in a high-angle quartz vein carrying Pogo-style mineralization. On completion of drilling at Tibbs, Tectonic will execute its second diamond drilling program at Seventymile, a >40 km long, underexplored greenstone belt in eastern\n \n Alaska\n \n . Tectonic looks forward to building on the success of last summer's ~2,500m, 26-hole reconnaissance RAB program at Seventymile, which confirmed the presence of both shear-hosted and tension-vein hosted gold mineralization along an 8km trend. The two programs combined will consist of approximately\n \n 4,800m\n \n of oriented diamond drilling, a method never previously employed at either project.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tony Reda\n \n , President & CEO, commented\n \n , \"It's time!  The old saying, \"If you're not drilling, you're not finding gold\" could not be m...
