Resource Drilling Results

The Company expects to receive all assay results for the latest resource drilling program within the coming weeks and will announce as soon as the tabulation is completed. The drilling program was part of the ongoing campaign to expand the Project's multi-million ounce gold Mineral Resource. A total of 28 holes covering four prospective areas adjacent to the boundary of the current resource were drilled. The results are also expected to provide tangible targets for the next phase of drilling.

Environmental Assessment

The Company resumed environmental field work in the autumn of 2020 and has intensified the data gathering activities covering both aquatic and terrestrial studies. The exploration camp near Likely was opened in May to facilitate a team of technicians and experts with their extensive field surveys. Management is in the process of preparing comprehensive environmental information for presentation and submission to the First Nations, communities and regulators in the coming months.

Project Optimization

In addition to demonstrating the Project's potential to be a mining operation with a robust production profile and profitability, the PFS has detailed several tangible optimization targets. The Company intends to conduct a series of programs to quantify these opportunities in order to capture the full benefit in the Definitive Feasibility Study in due course. The timeline for delivering major project milestones is not expected to be affected by these value-added exercises. Management will announce the details once the plans are formalized.
