The remainder of our maiden drill program consisted of low-grade with high-width intercepts (Ex. 2.17 g/t gold over 13.2 meters2), demonstrating the Project's strong continuity and near-resource potential.
We have a catalyst packed 2022 with a goal of drilling 10,000 meters at Beschefer and targeting a maiden resource towards the end of the year.”
