Access agreement
A Permit to Operate was lodged with the Anishinabeg of Kakinwawigak (The Long Point First Nation) on July 3, 2019 for permission to access the exploration areas under their Indigenous Title and Rights and to allow for drilling to occur.
Directors Dr Leon Pretorius and Martin Kavanagh met with representatives of the Long Point First Nation on their recent site visit and gained a good understanding of the services they may provide going forward.
These negotiations are expected to recommence next week.
Drill contractor selection
Quotes for the planned drilling program are also due next week from selected contractors including their equipment availability around the estimated start date.
The budgeted diamond drill program of up to 2,500 metres is expected to commence early August to test the five Priority 1 targets.
