The program will aim to: Provide additional close-spaced drill intercepts to increase confidence in the current resource model Extend the high-grade core of the deposit further to the southeastThe 2019 drilling program will also allow for the collection of key technical data including: The collection of geotechnical and geomechanical data to improve the understanding of the rock mass characteristics of the deposit and provide advanced engineering data for future underground mine design The ongoing collection of structural data to assess ground support requirements and provide input data for stope dimensions The 2019 exploration drill program will commence shortly andis expected be complete by early Fall. In addition to the exploration program, the Company has submitted detailed plans to the Ministry of Energy, Mines & Petroleum Resources to permit a surface geotechnical and hydrogeological program to confirm site selection for key mine infrastructure areas identified in the PEA.
