million ounces gold (Press release December 11, 2019). The company plans to drill approximately

suggested by recommendations in the 43- 101 technical report, as well as along the tonalite -
metasediments contact to the north -west. The Dyke Mafic area, which had previous significant
gold intersections will also be drill tested.
