Drill highlights from the Upper Oxide zone include 39.9 metres of 0.68 g/t gold from 134.9 metres; and 13.6 metres of 1.03 g/t gold starting at 128 metres.

One drill hole returned 30.3 metres grading 3.1 g/t Au, including 11.3 metres grading 6.34 g/t Au.

Spot gold rose 1.1% after recording its biggest monthly drop in nearly four years.

Drillhole assays for hole WC-20-42 confirm the discovery of a new, high-grade and near-surface gold zone at the 32-sq-km property.

Sample highlights from the new area include 9.7 g/t gold and 1.1 g/t silver; 2.81 g/t gold; 2.69 g/t gold; and 2.24 g/t gold.

The open-pit project is expected to start production in 2024.
