This initial program of at least 6,000 metres of drilling mainly targets the 325 and Mégane zones, but will also test other drill targets identified by the high resolution airborne magnetic survey conducted in early February.

Note that the drill core intersects the sheared tuff unit hosting the gold-bearing quartz vein at an angle of 40-50°, meaning that the intersected width is not necessarily the true width of the zone. Based on observations on surface from recent trenching and old SOQUEM and Stellar Pacific Ventures drillholes, the Company estimates the true width at 70-85% of the core length.
