We are now fully permitted for the upcoming 2019 exploration and drill programs that will begin shortly.\"The 2018 drill program was successful in expanding known gold mineralized zones previously discovered by the Company, including the discovery and delineation of new gold mineralized zones. The drilling also was designed to acqui...
