Vancouver, June 23, 2020 - SKRR Exploration Inc. (TSXV: SKRR) ("SKRR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that 3 additional claims totalling 1,170 hectares have been added to the Olson gold property (the "Property") located 100 km east of La Ronge, northern Saskatchewan.
Under the terms of the option agreement with Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. ("Eagle Plains"), SKRR may earn-in up to a 75% interest in the 5,038 - hectare Property.
As previously announced on June 2, 2020, fieldwork on the Property is underway with a DC resistivity / IP geophysical survey recently completed and geological field crews currently on the ground.
Additional Claims
The additional 3 claims increase the Olson property to the south in the central and eastern regions. In the south-central region, the new claim covers a portion of the east-west trending Hartley Shear zone and covers the same prospective volcanic lithological package as the main Carina / Point gold showing, which returned assay values up to 9.8 g/t Au from grab samples, located a further 500m to the north-east.
