Patrick Laracy, President, remarked, "Our ongoing work at the Springdale/Colchester property is part of a larger objective to fully evaluate the copper and gold endowment of this extensively mineralized area within a volcanic, intrusion and vein hosted environment. The current drill program will focus on high resolution induced polarization anomalies to test for new mineralization as well as calibrate the new data to historic occurrences. The Springdale property contains a diversity of gold and copper prospects, is road accessible and near significant mining services including drilling companies, field services and an analytical laboratory. As such it makes for an exciting project in an advantaged area and is a key exploration asset for the Company."
