GREENWOOD
Kinross undertook a planned 1,200 m drill program at the Midway area during July and August, 2018, to continue the proof of concept drilling at the Midway Epithermal Target intersected in 2017. Proof-of-concept drilling in 2017 intersected silicification, alteration, anomalous geochemistry, and minor quartz veining in 2 out of 3 holes along strike, warranting further follow-up exploration. Further details of the results will be provided from Kinross once logging, sampling and assaying is completed.
The portions of the Greenwood Project being explored by Kinross, 100% owned by Grizzly Discoveries Inc., includes 131 claims that form a contiguous package totaling approximately 27,346 hectares, representing approximately one third of Grizzly's land holdings at Greenwood. Kinross can earn a 75% interest on the optioned land pursuant to an Option Agreement dated September 2015 by incurring US$3 million in exploration expenditures no later than September 23, 2020.
ROBOCOP
Grizzly mobilized a field crew to the 100% owned Robocop Cobalt-Copper-Silver (Co-Cu-Ag) project near Roosville in southeast B.C., as announced on August 13, 2018. The field crew, provided by APEX Geoscience Ltd., conducted and has completed a two week surface exploration program in advance of a follow-up airborne geophysical survey. Results for the fieldwork are pending.
