Deer Horn Metals Inc. President and CEO, Tyrone Docherty said:

The robust economic return set out in the PEA provides excellent momentum to take the Project to the next level of development. We are currently exploring numerous financing avenues to enable us to proceed with further in-fill and step-out drilling, engineering and environmental programs which will allow us to complete a Preliminary Feasibility Study and a Permit Application for Mine Development. At that point, we will have successfully taken the Deer Horn project to financeable reserve status. The PEA encompasses only a 450 metre portion of a gold-silver-tellurium system that the company has mapped to be at a minimum of 2.4 km in length. Thus we are excited at the potential for future mine development along the strike length.
