Analytical results for the 2nd phase prospecting program have been received and have helped identify 7 new high priority gold-bearing showings distinct from the historical showings on the Project. Results of the airborne geophysical survey completed in late August of 2021 have helped refine the existing geological framework. Targets highlighted by the geophysical survey and 2ndphase prospecting results, along with the historical Fairview Showing, were acquired by staking.
A total of 7 new mineralized showings were located, highlighted by soil samples with up to 1,570 ppb Au and rock chip samples with up to 4.39 g/t Au over 2.4 metres and 1.17 g/t Au over 9.0 metres. Based on geological and alteration styles, highlights include a possible 650 metre northwest extension to the
Data from the airborne geophysical survey in conjunction with existing geological mapping has helped further refine the geological picture.
A total of 874.9 hectares were acquired via staking, increasing the property size to approximately 5,975 hectares or 59.75 square kilometres.
The Fairview showing was acquired by staking. Historical sampling results by

Other historical showings include Farrell where values of up to 1,777 g/t Au and 3,560 g/t Ag have been returned from grab samples of a 3.0 metre wide quartz vein and Flagstaff where values of up to 5.9 g/t Au and 1,153 g/t Ag have been reported for grab samples of quartz veins and stockworks.
Gold mineralization appears to be related to early phases of pervasive iron-carbonate, quartz-carbonate and sericite alteration of reactive lithologies and later structurally controlled quartz-sulphide veining and silicification, with this setting having affinities of both sediment hosted vein (SHV) and orogenic style systems.
