Bathurst Metals Corp. announced the planned mobilization of Bathurst crews and drill crews for February 16 and 19 respectively to the company's Peerless Property in southwest British Columbia. The company will commence first drill project on the Peerless Property on February 19, 2024, targeting gold mineralization in the Beta Zone.

Initial plans are for three (3) drill holes for a total of 600m. The Beta Zone is an area of historical exploration that discovered a blind zone of high-grade gold mineralization in 1987. The 1987 drill program intercepted several gold occurrences with the best results of 1.02 oz/tonne over 15 ft, including 1.87 oz/tonne over 5 ft.

No other test drilling has occurred since 1987, and the mineralization encountered remains open along strike and at depth.
