"An ongoing GIS targeting compilation has identified eleven (11) exploration target areas at the Sturgeon Lake VMS Project. The current VTEM survey is the first modern survey to be flown over the property, and will aid in targeting and prioritizing areas for a prospecting, mapping and the soil sampling program scheduled for H1 2023.
