“The second set of results of the drill program have continued to confirm previous drilling providing confidence in the robustness of the block model,” said Greg McCunn, Chief Executive Officer. “The drill program was primarily designed to supply a variety of rock types and grade to allow the creation of composite samples intended for the metallurgical test program. The samples from the drill core are representative of the material within the proposed pre-feasibility pit and will undergo metallurgical testing with results to be incorporated into the DFS. The DFS is currently underway and on track to be completed in the second quarter of 2018.”
