The 2021 winter drill program was designed to test significant gaps within the historical drilling of the Tommy and Ted-Mint vein systems, as well as previously untested targets.

Drill hole 3T-21-08 targeted the Tommy Vein at depth below the microdiorite sill, intersecting a zone of brecciated quartz-carbonate at 238.20 m.

Assay results from the drill hole returned the following results:

• 45 g/t gold and 29.36 g/t silver over 37 metres at a depth of 239 metres;
• 39 g/t gold and 114.82 g/t silver over 8.3 metres at a depth of 243 metres;
• 00 g/t gold and 34.83 g/t silver over 3.7 metres at a depth of 245.6 metres; and
• 83 g/t gold and 383.06 g/t silver over 1.7 metres at a depth of 245.6 metres.

The company also completed a geophysical survey on the property. The aim of the survey was to obtain imagery of the geology beneath the microdiorite sill.

Preliminary results of the survey are encouraging and show new, previously undiscovered vein systems. The final report for this survey should be completed and received in the coming weeks.
