The mining firm is currently conducting phase I of its 2021 exploration program on the deposits. A total of 70,000 metres of drilling have been completed with 17,990 metres of results have already been reported.

The company relayed that the phase I program has “doubled the strike length of the near-surface mineralization to 250 metres.”
“Considering the targets assembled for this year’s drill program and based on the results we have received to date, we are confident we will achieve our goals of increasing the in-pit resources at year-end. We anticipate being able to provide a resource update before the end of the first quarter of 2022,” said Nighthawk Gold CEO Keyvan Salehi.
Out of the reported 17 holes, the first nine tested the south extension over a strike length of 1 kilometre while the other eight explored the 24 deposit proximal and lateral to the current pit-shell.
