Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 23, 2022) - Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: PBM) ("Pacific Bay" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the Company has engaged Diamondhead Drilling Inc. for its upcoming drilling campaign expected to commence in September of 2022. Diamondhead has mobilized equipment to Yellowjacket Camp located within the Atlin Goldfields Property (the "Property") and the Company's management has been on site the last several weeks to initiate camp and exploration preparations.
"We're pleased with the state of the property, which includes an existing camp and excellent road access to our targeted drill locations," said Pacific Bay CEO Antonio Vespa." We're confident in launching a meaningful exploration program in short order."
"We look forward to a significant program at Atlin this year," said Pacific Bay VP Ex. Sebastien Ah Fat. "The main objective of the exploration program in 2022 is to focus on the Yellowjacket deposit where drilling will aim at delineating a resource estimate within the known mineralized constraints. Lateral extensional drilling to the east and west will seek to test the continuity and possibility for expansion of the deposit along the Pine Creek Fault zone."
