Exploration is currently underway on the Golden Sky project with both ground geophysical and geochemical programs in-progress. The surveys cover two of the project’s most advanced targets, the Dorset Gold zone and the Banded Iron Formation (“BIF”) gold zone, with both targeting high-grade gold mineralization in close proximity to the Eagle River Mine Complex of Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. The current work is designed to identify gold targets for the upcoming summer drilling program expected to commence in June.

Preliminary results are very encouraging with numerous anomalies already identified over the 25% of the grid that has been surveyed to-date.
