Resource Estimate
Micon completed a site visit Jan. 28th through February 2nd, 2019.
During the site visit, it was realized that channel samples taken from trench 3, located approximately 500 metres north-east of the most northernly drilled holes, had never been sent to the laboratory for testing. From February 5th through the 8th, 83 samples from trench 3, and an additional 218 samples that had been misplaced from road cuttings and the drilling were split, and prepped, under the supervision of DNI's consulting geologist and qualified person ("QP"), Jannie Leeuwner. Dan Weir, DNI's CEO, and Raymond Borida, DNI's CSR consultant, prepared all the documents for exportation. The samples were shipped to AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada for assaying on February the 18th. AGAT has completed the testing on a rush basis, and the results are in the process of being compiled, by Jannie and Micon.
This additional data will be used in the Resource estimation.
