Taiga Gold Corp. Increases Orchid Land-Holdings, Provides Update on Saskatchewan Exploration Activities
Taiga Gold Corp. (CSE: “TGC”) (the “Company”) has completed successful staking activity which significantly increases the Orchid property area, including important internal blocks which were previously unavailable to the Company. 2,786 ha of prospective ground was added recently and is owned 100% by Taiga. The total area of the Orchid property is now 8376 ha and carries no underlying royalties or encumbrances. Taiga recently completed a $760,000 financing and is now planning exploration programs targeting its 100%-owned Orchid, Leland and SAM projects in the area of SSR Mining’s Seabee Gold Operation, located 120km east of LaRonge, Saskatchewan. SSRM continues to explore Taiga’s Fisher property under option and currently has two drills on site to complete a Phase 1, 10,000m drill program. Approximately 8,000m have been drilled this year in 15 holes. Results will be reported as they are compiled and interpreted. A second, 8,000m program is planned to commence later this year following summer geological surface work, which is scheduled to commence immediately. See Taiga project location map: here
