Maiden Drilling Program Set for Mid-September
The company is moving ahead with preparations for its maiden drilling campaign at the Lincoln Gold Project, following the receipt of sampling results.
The sampling results included highlight intercepts of 3.7 metres at 108 g/t gold from 24.1 metres in hole DDH-0195, including a peak value of 0.91 metres at 304.5 g/t gold from 26.88 metres. These results were obtained as part of the project’s technical due diligence from selected historical drill core and pulps.
The maiden drilling campaign is scheduled to commence in mid-September, subject to the completion of necessary site works.
The confirmation of historical results and the planned maiden drill campaign pave the way for the company’s first JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, targeted for completion before the end of 2025. The project currently hosts a historic NI 43-101 (non-JORC) resource reported in 2015, totalling 286,000 ounces at 9.3 g/t gold across indicated and inferred categories.
