The initial proposed program was hampered by uncharacteristic heavy rains so drilling locations were altered to logistically accessible areas within the targets.  The present drill program, which is in progress on Dunns Mountain, will allow testing of the targets that were not easily accessible during 2019 program. \nThe fall 2019 drill holes tested various areas of interest utilizing ground gravity data in combination with magnetic and Induced Polarization data.  At K6 the drill holes were aimed to test the gravity high on the eastern side of the target and the gravity anomaly sitting above a pipe-like structure observed in the 3D high-resolution magnetic profile. At Dunns Mountain one drill hole was completed on the eastern-most side of the 3D inversion gravity anomaly and the second one completed in front of the mountian aiming to test a portion of the anomaly at that location.\nDrill hole CH-19-09, at Dunns Mountain, was drilled on the southeast side of the mountain aiming back at the gravity anomaly. The drill hole was terminated at 506m due difficulties related to a large hematitic fault structure. This hole showed visual mineralization in several long core lengths including 120 - 160m and 220 - 275m, where selected samples returned anomalous copper values up to 0.29% copper. Mineralization through these intervals is characterized as spaced millimeter-scale mineralized fractures containing chalcopyrite and pyrite. The upper interval showed more pyrite with lesser amounts of chalcopyrite with the bottom interval dominated by chalcopyrite and lesser pyrite. The intervals were dominantly mineralized in millimeter scale fractures, with several narrow intervals containing mineraliza...
