The Company’s summer/fall 2021 exploration program focused on advancing the project towards the completion of a preliminary economic assessment. This included diamond drilling for both metallurgical and resource expansion purposes, an extensive program of 3D induced polarization geophysics as well as camp upgrades to support future drilling and exploration activities.
