K2 Gold Corporation (KTO) has outlined its 2022 exploration plans for the Si2 and Wels projects.

The company stated it will evaluate the Si2 property using a model that shows overlying gold mineralization like AngloGold Ashanti’s Silicon Project. Si2 was also identified by the exploration team who worked on the Silicon Project.

Next to be completed are surveys which will help K2 identify structures that might hold gold mineralization, and a drone will be sent over to give an aerial image of the area.

K2 will then follow up with detailed mapping, as well as rock chip and soil sampling, then move onto surveys that will focus on any targets it may have found.

K2 is also planning a return to the Wels Project in the Yukon for the 2022 field season, where high-grade gold mineralization was identified at the project’s Saddle target.

Exploration plans for 2022 will focus on identifying gold anomalies over the Saddle, Chai, and Pekoe targets.

K2 Gold Corporation (KTO) is unchanged trading at $0.14 per share as of 3:41 p.m. ET.
