Vancouver, British Columbia–, where it holds an option to earn 100% interest.

The 3,200-meter drill program at the Property marks the first documented drilling to follow-up the significant gold mineralization in the two drill holes described by Groves in 1985.

The target exploration model at the Property is a low-sulphidation epithermal system, which is supported by coincident anomalous geochemistry with lack of base metals, presence of bladed quartz replacing calcite, and sheeted veins.
