Kestrel Gold Inc. issued an update on exploration plans for 2022. At the QCM property, further prospecting and sampling of the gold bearing showings located by Kestrel's 2021 prospecting programs will be completed. Significant targets defined by this work will be followed up with a reverse circulation drill program.

Upon receipt of these drill results a second reverse circulation drill program will be planned for targets of significance from the initial drill program and to further expand upon results from last fall's QCM Main Zone drill program. The reader is encouraged to see Kestrel's February 18th and April 23rd, 2022 News Releases for further details of the prospecting and drilling completed at QCM during 2021. Jean M. Pautler, P.Geo.
