While the Exploration Plan applications were still under consideration, during the fall of 2019 a follow-up prospecting and surface rock sampling program was undertaken, based upon the results of the sampling program reported in the
The most encouraging and exciting results were from analyses of samples obtained in the area of the Glenrock Gold West occurrence located in the southeast part of the property which had returned values of 10.6 g/t and 2.9 g/t Au from two reconnaissance grab samples taken the previous year. During this program, prospecting uncovered multiple additional outcrops within the heavily vegetated area consisting of highly silicified, finely pyritized, Archean mafic volcanic rocks spread over two hundred square metres. Twelve one square metre composite or grab samples were collected which reported an average of 1.37 g/t Au with values of up to 4.9 g/t Au. The mineralized surface area appears to be open for expansion to the east, west and north of the occurrence.
During the same program, 26 core samples were collected from historic drill holes completed on the Coppercorp Property which are stored at the ENDM core library in

Based upon these results and a compilation of previous exploration results, further surface prospecting and sampling is planned for the spring of 2020. In addition, new priority diamond drill targets have been identified throughout the Glenrock Gold area. The results of this program open-up a new highly prospective gold exploration target area west and north of the main Glenrock Gold area on the Coppercorp Property.
