According to Mining News Pro - As part of its C$3 million commitment to exploration under the option to joint venture agreement announced in May, a comprehensive compilation of all exploration data has been completed, exploration permit applications have been submitted to the government of Saskatchewan, and helicopter and drill contracts have been signed.
A helicopter-borne, high resolution magnetometer survey should begin in early July. The low level survey will be flown on 100-metre line spacings over the entire 5 km width and 52 km length of the property to define other targets for drilling. Two drills will be mobilized to the property in July for a planned 20 to 30 hole drill program totalling up to 7,000 metres.
Initial drill targets continue to be defined with several high priority areas identified:
Jansem – one of four holes drilled by Forum intersected 18.5 metres (true thickness of 18 metres) grading 0.94% copper and 6.7 g/t silver including 5.2 metres grading 2.22% copper and 16.5 g/t silver;
Janice – Noranda drill hole PL-93-11 intersected 33 metres grading 0.77% copper;
Kaz – Noranda drill hole PL-93-05 intersected 15.1 metres grading 0.32% copper; and
Genie – Forum reports 0.76% copper across 10 metres of channel sampling.
