Drilling company Forage FTE Drilling (\"FTE\") has been contracted to complete approximately 3,000 meters of diamond drilling that will probe multiple targets identified by the Company on two of its properties.Key Aspects of the Planned 2A ProgramStart mid-April~3,000 meters drilling to test ~8 separate targetsMain Group-7 targets based on geological, historical, and airborne magnetometer dataTombill Mine-1 target to be drilled on the 6-claim original past-producing propertyIndividual drill-holes between 275 to 350 meters in lengthInitial results expected June 2022Adam Horne, CEO, commented, \"Our campaign is being directed by our experienced exploration team with strong local understanding of the key controls on the Geraldton district's gold deposits.
