The eleven-hole drilling program was completed to test a 4.5km target consisting of surface mineralization (ranging from 0.05 to 144.7g/t gold) associated with a strong chargeability signature within the
Highlights include: PL-22-07 intersected 3.57g/t over a core interval of 1.1m including 7.75 g/t Au over 0.5 meters and separate interval of 5.99 g/t Au over a core interval of 0.5m
Phase II drill program is underway testing additional priority targets on the west side of Twin Ponds

The Phase I diamond drilling program consisted of 11 holes (PL-22-01 through PL-22-11) totaling 2,746m to test a broad range (0.05g/t to 144.7g/t gold) of gold concentrations in outcrop/subcrop/float hosted in quartz veined/stockwork/breccia exhibiting a quartz-pyrite-arsenopyrite mineral association hosted in altered syenite intrusive along the
Compilation of the analytical and geotechnical results for the Phase I drilling in conjunction with the geophysical signatures (chargeability/resistivity) is underway to determine the control and if possible the trend of the mineralized system.

2022 Drilling Results
The mineralized intervals exhibit a pyrite-arsenopyrite mineral association with higher gold values typically associated with higher arsenic concentrations. The mineralized intervals typically exhibit envelopes up to several meters wide of gold values ranging from 10 to 90 parts per billion.
Phase II Drilling Program
The Phase II diamond drill program is underway. Two drill holes have been completed. Logging and sampling of these drill cores are in progress. The initial part of this program consists of five drill holes totaling approximately 1,500m.
Analytical Procedures
Sample preparation and analytical work is being completed by
