The Company has signed contracts with all key service providers relating to this year’s Phase 1 program and expects to mobilize crews to the properties in the coming weeks.
Gordon Lam, President and CEO, commented, “With three new and exciting targets discovered on claims that we staked, we are eager to launch our 2021 season with a field program focused on the Lightning Strike Corridor. With the requisite contracted services secured and program details nearly complete, management expects to mobilize crews early July, to correlate with favourable weather patterns at the project. We are confident we will execute our exploration season in a timely manner, return results as quickly as possible with the objective to develop and commence a second phase work program, as seasonality permits.”
