("Prize" or the "Company") (TSXV:PRZ), has commenced an environmental baseline and monitoring program on its Kena-Daylight Gold Properties and Prizes adjacent Toughnut property, located near Nelson in southeastern British Columbia Feisal Somji, president and chief executive officer of Prize Mining, commented: "Having good baseline environmental data and continued water quality monitoring is a key requirement to move our project through exploration and development. With this goal in mind as well as the importance to Prize of maintaining a positive social license, the Company has initiated this sampling program. Prize is currently nearing completion of the expanded Phase I exploration program of detailed target definition (see News Release dated September 12, 2017). The company is fully financed and moving towards a fall discovery focused drill program."
Masse Environmental Consultants Ltd. ("Masse"), based in Nelson, assisted in designing the baseline water quality sampling program at 16 creek sampling locations (view attached map) to monitor the upper catchment of two local watersheds. Terralogic Exploration Inc. and Prize's employees were trained by Masse to perform the sampling at all 16 sites for the past 3 months. The water sampling program is designed to record baseline chemical and sediment loads of high and low flow conditions over a one year period, and to monitor changes (if any) related to human activity in the area. Masse will help interpret the data and the results will be imperative for permitting an aggressive bulk sampling program for 2018.
