A total of three drill holes were completed with the fourth in progress when the drill operations were shut down. The drill rig remains on site and will be restarted shortly when the ground conditions allow. All cores have been sampled and sent to the lab. Results will be released when the data has been received and compiled. \nIn the interim, the Company has elected to commence a maiden drill program at the Wings Point Gold project, which too, is located on the island part of Newfoundland and Labrador, approximately 30 km north of Gander. Drilling has commenced and will include 4 to 6 holes. The targets at Wings Point are characterized as a disseminated gold system in sediments and analogous to the Touquoy Project of Atlantic Gold (taken over by St. Barbra of Australia) in Nova Scotia where commercial production started in 2018.

The two targets include; the Western Anomaly which measures 1200...
