RE:RE:gold in tillTo add a bit more...that Co. had already done some drilling on outcrop with good results, and later IP and till sampling. Both the till sampling and IP led them to where they had already been drilling and also other areas along strike yet to be drilled.
The point being that " pristine nuggests " and IP can be very accurate indicators so if we have
" pristine nuggets " already and find IP that corresponds favourably then we may just have our X marks the spot and a drilling plan could follow very quickly.
Then weather and Covid but I don't know what's going on with either in the Red Lake area right now.

I don't think I had ever heard the term before so I've cut and pasted it here for those interested.
" Till sampling is a classical exploration method to detect specific minerals (e.g., gold grains) in glacial sediments that may indicate nearby mineralization. When glaciers erode mineral deposits in bedrock, they produce a wide range of mineralized fragment sizes (from boulders to fine particles) that are transported over variable distances. In the case of gold, grain morphology typically reflects the distance travelled: pristine-shaped grains suggest the sample may be close to the source of mineralization, rounded grains signal a distal source.
