Drill core is presently being logged and sampled. A wedge \"daughter hole,\" TB-21-001A, was started at a downhole depth of 500 m and is responding well with directional wedging. Such wedge drilling has been utilized successfully at the Hardrock deposit immediately east of Tombill Main Group.A second drill has been added to the deep-drilling campaign as per plans to accelerate the Phase One drilling. Drilling has begun on hole TB-21-002 which is currently at a down hole depth of 750 m and is on track to intersect target. (See Figure 1, where the background shows the well-known local landmark, the MacLeod #2 Headframe that is in the middle of Hardrock's proposed open pit)An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Magnetometer Survey (\"UAV-MAG Survey\") has been completed on the Tombill Main Group. Tombill's geological personnel have identified cross-cutting features associated with refolded lithologies and structures. These new targets are being added to the near-surface exploration campaign: (See Figure 2)Eight surface targets were defined, including the past producing Talmora Mine,This campaign is the first conducted at historic near-surface targets utilizing modern exploration techniques.Areas of near-surface targets are being accessed with bulldozer trails in preparation for stripping of overburden, allowing detailed mapping and channel sampling:Tombill is continually utilizing a Bayesian ranking system to target as more data is acquired,The goal of the current surface campaign is to identify near-surface targets down to 300 m d...
