Gary Lohman, P.Geo., VP Exploration stated, "Looking forward to getting back on the ground and drilling the West Wedge and Tribag Targets. The drilling contract has been executed, and timeframe will be mid to late May depending on road and water access from the normal winter snow melt runoffs. With VMS mineralization exposed in trenches at surface, above the Target Plates depicted in (Figure 3) Targets B1, C1-C4 and D1, the Tribag area has tremendous potential for a larger system at depth. The BMC - VMS deposits can cluster in trends, such as Heath Steele, Halfmile and Stratmat Deposits to the southeast."
