[{"type":"text","content":"Tombill Mines Provides Exploration Update on its Flagship ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2021) - Tombill Mines Limited (TSXV: TBLL) (the \"Company\" or \"Tombill\"), is pleased to give an exploration update at its 100% controlled, royalty-free flagship and patented Tombill Main Group property within the heart of the Geraldton Gold Camp.HighlightsSurface Exploration Program: Surface stripping and sampling program is underway Multiple new targets identified from recently collected airborne magnetics data Grab samples from the East Porphyry Zone returned 24.3 and 14.9 grams per tonne (gpt)Deep Drilling Program: Phase One drilling at Tombill Main Group is ongoing with a total of more than 6.6 km completed on five parent holes and two daughter wedge holesAssay results should be released over the next few monthsAdam Horne, CEO, commented: \"Our technical team are doing a fine job in executing our drilling and surface program. In line with our neighbour, we are hoping to present a diversified gold system including extensions of known lodes at depth but also new discoveries at our multiple near-surface targets. We have an aggressive exploration program this year, the first modern exploration program on this highly prospective property. We look forward to good news on several fronts over the course of the next few months.\" Surface Exploration Program Update Detailed magnetic data from Tombill's Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Magnetometer Survey (\"UAV-MAG Survey\") has been utilized to create new near-surface targets, based on refolded lithologies and east-west structures oblique to regional foliation (Figure 1).The magnetics map has been analysed together with geology mapping and historic showings resulting in definition of multiple new targets. Tombill has now identified a total of ten surface targets including the past producing Talmora Mine. Near-surface targets are being accessed with bulldozer trails in preparation for stripping of overburden to facilitate detailed mapping and channel sampling. Tombill is continually updating a Bayesian ranking system as more data is acquired in order to refine and rank targets for exploration. The goal of surface exploration is to identify near-surface targets, those defined as extending down to 300 m depth, that will be tested by drilling in Q2/Q3 2021.Figure 1 – M...
