John Kowalchuk states, "We are very excited about this first phase of drilling. It will be the first time Providence group of gold mines has ever been drilled. During the past year we verified the geometry and potential mineralized zones by ground proofing, which included both underground mapping and sampling from the 600 hundred level to surface geological mapping, soil geochemical sampling and structural modeling. Our exploration effort to date, has verified the presence of a prolific high grade gold system , and we are very encouraged in what the upcoming drilling may potentially yield."
