Highlights:
- One drill rig remains winterized on the Property and will begin drilling once camp construction is complete. The first hole will test the Williams Zone, a newly discovered alkalic Cu-Au porphyry system centered on a potassic altered, 400m diameter breccia pipe.
- A second drill rig is being mobilized to the Property and will begin testing the newly discovered Kaip Zone which returned 21.62m of 6.26g/t Au and 52.1g/t Ag in hole HNK-17-009 (see June 8, 2018 press release). Mineralization is hosted within and on the contact of a buried altered intrusion and 2018 drilling aims to delineate the extent of this mineralized intrusion.
The Company is also pleased to announce that Wade Barnes, P.Geo., has joined the Company as a consultant and “Qualified Person” as defined by NI 43-101.
