Is a SEA geotechnical test for orpiment area in the works?The seabridge tunnel would have to pass through near the vicinity of the orpiment zone. There are at least 30 geotechnical tests to make this year.
Seabridge Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk noted that the size of this year's drill program has been scaled back from original plans due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. "Our permit allows us to drill 40 holes, but we have limited this summer's program to only one drill rig and 10 holes to reduce the load on our camp facilities and protect our employees and contractors.
