Since drilling resumed in February, 2021, 14,700 metres have been drilled in 27 holes, including holes in progress. The program is continuing to potentially expand the current resource but also define areas of significantly higher-grade mineralization.
Holes are being systematically drilled not only to determine the orientation of the higher-grade mineralization but also to define the extent of the mineralization which remains open in all directions.
Hole GS 2101 was drilled northeast of the contact with the Dolphin intrusive, and continues to show very broad zones of greater than 1g/t mineralization, with significant sections grading better than 1.5 g/t. This is on the projected trend of the mineralization extending towards the Cleary vein system.
Hole GS 2018 is on the northern side of the Tolovana vein zone and indicates weakening of the mineralization to the northwest, although still intersecting very broad zones of above cut-off mineralization.
Hole GS 2108 was also located north of the Tolovana vein zone but further to the west than GS 2018, and intersected 41.1 metres of 3.99 g/t Au within a broad zone of 296.3 metres grading 1.4 g/t Au.
Hole GSDL2013 was located in the Cleary Area, and intersected 40.4 metres grading 1.29 g/t Au. The hole successfully demonstrated that mineralization extends beyond the depth of previous drilling. The mineralization remains open to depth.
GSDL2012, located in the Cleary area was terminated at a depth of 44 metres after two attempts due to ground conditions. No significant values were intercepted. Additional holes in this area are planned.
The results of the drilling are continuing to successfully confirm
The 2021 drill program will continue to focus on continuing to determine the orientation of the zones of higher-grade mineralization consistent with

Some statements in this news release contain forward-looking information, including without limitation statements as to planned expenditures and exploration programs. These statements address future events and conditions and, as such, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the statements. Such factors include without limitation the completion of planned expenditures, the ability to complete exploration programs on schedule and the success of exploration programs. The term 'Mineral Resource' used above is defined per NI 43-101. Though Indicated Resources have been estimated for the Project, this PEA includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are too speculative for use in defining Reserves. Standalone economics have not been undertaken for the measured and indicated resources and as such no reserves have been estimated for the Project. Please note that the PEA is preliminary in nature, that it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would allow them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and resources, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of the Company are forward looking statements that involve various risks. Actual results could differ materially from those projected as a result of the following factors, among others: changes in the price of mineral market conditions, risks inherent in mineral exploration, risks associated with development, construction and mining operations, the uncertainty of future profitability and uncertainty of access to additional capital.
