Edmonton, June 8, 2022 - Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: GZD) (FSE: G6H) (OTCQB: GZDIF) ("Grizzly" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that crews have mobilized to southern British Columbia (BC) during May and have commenced surface-based fieldwork that will lead eventually to drilling during 2022. The Company is permitted for initial drilling programs at its Motherlode and Dayton Prospects in the Greenwood area of British Columbia and is currently in the process of obtaining the required permits for drilling at the Robocop Project near Grasmere, BC. Grizzly is actively seeking bids for its drilling program which is slated to begin later this summer.
The 2022 exploration program for the Greenwood Precious-Battery Metals Project and the Robocop Battery Metals Project will comprise soil and rock sampling, along with ground geophysical surveys followed by drilling at both projects in southern BC. Grizzly will focus efforts at a number of new and existing high-priority battery metals targets at Robocop (copper, cobalt and silver) and precious metals - battery metals targets at Greenwood (gold-silver-copper and other base metals). The ground exploration will be focused on or near prospective targets to be drilled during 2022. Recent geophysical results have outlined large areas with anomalous geological potential for new discoveries at both projects.
Brian Testo, President and CEO of Grizzly Discoveries stated "We look forward to the start of the 2022 program after completing a significant financing that will allow us to complete our drill programs at the Robocop Battery Metals Project and at our Greenwood Precious Metals-Battery Metals Project. Grizzly has significant potential for new copper-cobalt and copper-precious metal discoveries during a time when demand for battery metals is surging due to the shift to renewable energy sources and electric vehicles. We are looking forward to commencing an initial Phase 1 program over the next couple of months to isolate drill targets in preparation for a Phase 2 - 2022 drill testing. The geology of the Robocop and Greenwood areas has the potential to yield world-class discoveries."
Update on Property Option Agreements
In May 2022, Hi-View Resources Inc. commenced ground exploration including soil and rock sampling on the Company's Ket-28 property pursuant to the Ket-28 Option Agreement (see the Company's news release dated August 10, 2021). A ground time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) survey is being planned for early summer at the project. The intent of the survey will be to confirm and define potential conductivity and resistivity targets identified in airborne surveys leading to the definition of additional drill targets for copper-gold-silver skarns and porphyry's.
Effective May 28, 2022, the optionee for the Company's Midway property (see the Company's news release dated March 15, 2021) notified the Company that the optionee would not proceed to the second year of the option agreement, and the option for the Midway property has been terminated. The Company is evaluating next steps for the Midway property.
