Drilling continues to extend near surface mineralization in the Hasaga Porphyry and Central Zone areas and is encountering encouraging initial results at the North Gate exploration target area.

• HMP081 contains 1.74 g/t Au across 18.0 metres in the new Footwall Zone at the Hasaga Porphyry target area beginning at 48.0m downhole
• HLD014 contains 0.97 g/t Au across 63.3 metres at the Central Zone target area beginning at 7.5m downhole and HLD030 contains 0.84 g/t Au across 101.0 metres beginning at 253.0m downhole

The Hasaga Property is host to the past-producing Hasaga and Gold Shore Mines and is strategically-located proximal to the Balmer-Confederation regional unconformity, recognized as an important geologic feature at the multi-million ounce past and currently producing Red Lake area mines.

We have high expectations for our follow-up program at Hasaga this year. Our team will commence drilling on January 28th, following a planning workshop in Thunder Bay.
