The Company expects to have continual news flow with four rigs currently drilling on the property. The program consists of step-out drilling to identify new resources and expand the known mineralized zone, in-fill drilling to convert inferred resources into measured and indicated, and condemnation drilling to test for gold mineralization under proposed plant and facility sites. The current mineralized zone remains open to the north, west, east and at depth.
