Current Program
A significant amount of exploration work was completed on the property by Golden Predator and predecessors. That volume of high-quality data is currently being reviewed and consolidated into our common data structure. This process is providing insight into existing targets and potentially new target ideas. Evaluation work on existing data will continue this year with the goal of executing a drill program next year.
