The Tonopah North project covers 20 square kilometres along the prolific
The fully permitted and funded inaugural drill program will consist of 9,000 metres in twelve reverse circulation (RC) drillholes. The program will test two silver-gold concepts associated with the mapped margin of the Tonopah Caldera and the projection of major northwest structures, and the lithium potential within the middle and lower portions of the Siebert Formation.
HIGHLIGHTS
A total of 9,000 metres of drilling planned in twelve RC drillholes; Multiple high-priority silver-gold targets identified, including the extension of the Pittsburg-Monarch Fault System, one of the most significant structures of the
Tonopah North Targets

Sites G, H and I will test a second north-northwest structural zone imaged in the gravity and magnetic geophysical data sets. The drillholes test the interpreted structural zone inside and outside of the postulated caldera margin.
A total of five drill sites totalling 3,300 metres is planned to test these structural targets.
Based on magnetic data, structural lineaments and mapping, a large swath of east-west oriented structures are located on the north edge of the

Forward Looking Statements
This news release contains 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation. Such forward looking statements concern the Company's strategic plans, timing and expectations for the Company's exploration and drilling programs, estimates of mineralization from drilling, geological information projected from sampling results and the potential quantities and grades of the target zones. Such forward looking statements or information are based on a number of assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: conditions in general economic and financial markets; accuracy of assay results; geological interpretations from drilling results, timing and amount of capital expenditures; performance of available laboratory and other related services; future operating costs and the historical basis for current estimates of potential quantities and grades of target zones. The actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of the risk factors including the timing and content of work programs; results of exploration activities and development of mineral properties; the interpretation and uncertainties of drilling results and other geological data; receipt, maintenance and security of permits and mineral property titles; environmental and other regulatory risks; project costs overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; availability of funds; failure to delineate potential quantities and grades of the target zones based on historical data, and general market and industry conditions.
Forward-looking statements are based on the expectations and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements are made. The assumptions used in the preparation of such statements, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements included in this news release if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, except as otherwise required by applicable law.
