Bond Resources Inc. reported that it expanded the underground drill program previously announced in November 2021. The initial plan to drill 4 holes or 1,100 ft (335 metres) was expanded to 10 holes totalling 2,372.5 ft. (723 metres).

The holes were drilled from an underground drill station situated within an old crosscut on the 4225 level near a three-compartment raise. All 10 holes were drilled below the main 4225 ft level and intersected the Mary K vein/structure with a true width ranging from 6.5 ft. (1.98 metres) to over 12 ft.

(3.65 metres). This work confirmed the Mary K vein structure over a strike length of 360 ft (109.7 metres) and 360 ft. (109.7 metres) in vertical extent.

The first holes focused on the area below the #5 level workings where previous owner Richard Kleesattle said he encountered "the apex of a rich ore shoot". The last workings driven by Kleesattle in 1942 were to about 23 ft (7 meters) below the #4 level. He recorded assays ranging from 11 to 59 ounces per ton from this development.

These workings were developed but never mined. Post mineralized faulting was observed within the old workings where Bond chip samples returned values up to 1.082 oz per ton gold (37.09 g/t gold). This faulting was also present in the core and resulted in poor sample recovery in many of the holes.

Visible gold was observed in quartz drill cuttings in areas of poor core recovery. These areas appear to correspond to the post mineral fault system that cuts through the mineralized zone. Drilling will now be focused around the area of drill holes MK26 and MK27 to define a potential mineralized shoot as a target for bulk sample test-mining.

Assay results are pending.
