What are your key goals in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months?
3 Months:
New Brunswick: Drilling (upon systematic exploration: geophysics, soil sampling, mapping, geochemistry)
California: Revised NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (updating 2023 MRE and investigating high grade underground potential)
6 Months:
Yukon: Drilling (upon systematic exploration: geophysics, soil sampling, mapping, geochemistry)
California: Evaluate “suspended” mining license* due to gold prohibition in WW2 (1942)
*similar to other projects in California that has been re-activated (Sutter, Golden Queen, and Castle Mountain + Mesquite).
12 Months:
California: Drilling to confirm underground high grade underground potential, targeting 2MOz 5g/t Au resource (previously mined at 8g/t Au, mostly the first 250m and less than 20% of the veins (2/6 deposits) exploited, open at depth and on strike. 3 step- out holes hit structure (1,200m). Stockworks, mineralization between and outside of veins not mined. Southern extent of the 190-km long prolific Mother Lode Gold Belt – > 50,000,000 oz Au produced.
California: Evaluating 23km of underground workings
