The purpose of the current program is to refine drill targets on the Metla Creek Zone and define potential new exploration targets.  

Additionally, the Company has sent 36 rock samples collected during the 2018 field season to the Bureau Veritas analytical lab to be assayed. Assay results from these samples have now been received and will be released once they are compiled and reviewed by the companies Q.P. (Qualified Person)

The Company also announces the payment of the 2 shareholder loans including interest using the proceeds of the recent IPO offering, as disclosed in the prospectus.

"I am excited to see this promising exploration project moving forward. I would like to thank all of those involved in the Company's recent successful IPO and corresponding listing as a tier 2 mining Company on the TSX Venture Exchange.
