As announced on January 19, 2017 this surface drilling program is planned to consist of approximately 120,000 meters which is targeted to establish an initial 2-3 million ounce high grade gold resource. This work will require up to 8 drill rigs. Later in the season an additional 20,000 meters of drilling is planned to explore grassroots targets and high grade areas in the northern portions of the property. The budget for the surface drilling is $13.0 million.
