This phase of exploration will involve conducting traverses to identify and document the characteristics of all exposed pegmatites encountered and collect samples for geochemical analysis. This will lead to a second phase of prospecting that will be more focused on those areas showing the highest potential for discovery and will include activities intended to identify and de-risk diamond drill targets later this summer."
