As the last two years have demonstrated, the more effort we put into this property with our exploration programs, the more it gives. With the 2022 exploration campaign being the largest program yet, I believe we will continue to see results that will move the needle for the district and shareholders.”

The Company also announces that Wilson Jin has stepped down as a director to focus on other ventures and wishes to thank him for his time and contributions over the past three years.
