Mr. Denis Miville-Deschênes, President & CEO of Highland commented on the acquisition of the RTX’s properties. “Although the Company’s focus remains the Copperwood project, we believe that our new exploration package is highly prospective given that, for many of the targeted commodities, the region has been under-explored. The acquired properties also represent a significant project pipeline for the future”.
