The targets include a large kilometre-scale, fault-bounded geophysical target adjacent to the existing deposit. The Company's flagship Lawyers Gold-Silver project is located within a road-accessible region of the prolific Golden Horseshoe area of north-central British Columbia, Canada.John Williamson, CEO commented, \"We continue to develop large new targets in close proximity to the existing deposits that have never been drill-tested. These new targets demonstrate similar geochemical and geophysical characteristics to the known zones of mineralization in close proximity to the high-grade AGB Deposit. The new targets exhibit significant new discovery potential and are high priority drill areas. The Company continues to finalize its Preliminary Economic Assessment and has geotechnical drilling in progress for the 2023 Feasibility Study.\" AGB Target Area Highlights Large untested resistivity geophysical anomaly adjacent to AGB.This resistivity body is interpreted as possible silicification related to mineralization associated with a large, steeply-dipping fault system. Three soil anomalies situated approximately 3 km to the north along-strike and within the same structural corridor as AGB, associated with the hanging-wall mineralization. Coincident VLF geophysical anomalies, similar to those seen at AGB.These blind targets have not seen historical or contemporary drilling and have strong discovery potential to add additional gold-silver ounces given their proximity to existing deposit areas at Lawyers. Priority drill targets for the imminent summer campaign. The Company has produced multiple intriguing targets possibly related to mineralization adjacent to the high-grade AGB Deposit consisting of soil geochemistry anomalies coincident with IP and VLF geophysical anomalies in areas lacking outcrop exposure. These blind targets are situated both parallel to and along-strike of th...
