reply from VP Roger Dhan on drilling today Our Oct 20th News Release mentioned that we’d be drilling at least 3,400 meters. Recently we made a decision to expand the drill program to increase the amount of mineralization to Indicated Resource status vs Inferred. We will likely end-up drilling closer to 4,500 meters. Drilling should be completed by 1st week of Dec. All is going well on site.
With respect to assay lab turn-a-round time, the labs are extremely busy due to the exploration activity in Canada this fall. A 3-4 week return as you mentioned would be nice but that is not the case. The COVID situation may also be playing into the delay in sample results I guess.
Hope this answers your concerns.
Regards,
Roger Dahn
