Early in the year, the Company's management team executed a successful drill program at the Current Deposit to delineate larger ballroom structures. This was followed up by a significant undertaking at the Escape Deposit down plunge, to reassess past MT data and refine drilling targets in the area. Management commissioned drilling of the first step-out exploration target within the Escape down-plunge in Q3, resulting in a 50m mineralized intersection 400m from the known resource. The team also successfully completed and filed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for Thunder Bay North that outlined a toll-milling case with a mine-plan that is focused on higher margin material in the Current and Escape deposits.
