“In addition to Keats West drilling, systematic grid drilling designed to test for the array of gold-bearing structural orientations that have been observed west of the AFZ is ongoing, sweeping initially an approximately 200m wide prospective corridor on the west side of the AFZ. Three drills have been dedicated to this program and we are anxious to see what this exploration work uncovers,” commented Melissa Render, VP of Exploration.
