HALIFAX, April 8, 2019 /CNW/ - The
company is pleased to announce it has completed a Phase 1 drill program on the Cross Hills Iron Oxide Copper Gold project by
performing a first pass evaluation of the large Dunns Mountain IOCG target. The program consisted of five holes totaling
1421 metres, which was an increase from the initial four-hole, 1000 metre program. The initial drill program was designed
to test various geophysical and geochemical variables in the data set associated with known surface mineralization. All samples
have been submitted to the laboratory for analysis and results will be reported once received.
In anticipation of Phase 2 drilling at the Dunns Mountain target, the company has submitted exploration permit
applications to the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources for additional
geophysical surveys, which will be carried out prior to the next phase of drilling. Work will commence immediately upon permit
approvals.
