This pause in drilling will allow us to work towards completing logging and cutting, as well as give our team time to receive the interpreted IP data from the recently completed survey. As investors may know, I was on site for the completion of hole 2 cutting, as well as delivery of the halved core to ActLabs Dryden - example mineralization is highlighted below.” Exploration Manager Shannon Baird on TAK-26-02: “The bottom of TAK-26-02 displayed a pervasive green sericite-chlorite alteration, brecciation, and quartz veining accompanied by an increased sulphide content, all of which could potentially indicate a higher degree of interaction with hydrothermal fluids. Hole 2 was our deepest and farthest north hole giving us more confidence to test beyond this in Phase 2.” Drilling Operation Update The following holes have been completed during Phase 1 drilling. With 3 holes still to be cut to completion and submitted for fire assay.
