(TSXV: KES) (OTCQB: KSSRF) ("Kesselrun" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has been selected to receive up to C$200,000 from the Ontario Government's Junior Exploration Program ("OJEP") which will be used to fund geophysical and geological surveys of the 100% owned 9,100 hectare Bluffpoint Gold Project located approximately 50 kilometres northeast of New Gold's Rainy River Gold Mine.
"We know that the continued prosperity of Ontario's mining sector depends on early exploration to discover the mines of the future," said George Pirie, Minister of Mines.
