RE:Still waiting on Sally sampling too.May 25, 2021:
In addition to the drill program, a surface exploration crew are actively exploring the area between the Sally Deposit and Boyer Prospect (Figure 1). This area comprises a 2.5 km long portion of the Coldwell Complex margin which has not been systematically mapped or prospected.
The area has potential for ultramafic intrusions with high-grade mineralization.
Previous drilling and surface sampling has returned extremely high-grade assays from apatite bearing pyroxenites which have assayed up to 2.59 g/t Au, 0.48 g/t Pt, 185 g/t Pd, 9.11% Cu and 0.60% Ni (see February 25th, 2020 news release).
In addition to boot and hammer prospecting, the surface exploration crew will engage in selective soil sampling to define potential targets for follow up trenching and/or surface geophysics.

The order is related to the high risk of forest fires in the area. Other exploration activities such as mapping and sampling are continuing.
