Proceeds Directed to Anderson Gold Trend Geochemistry and Magnetic Modelling

The release states that first-tranche proceeds will fund reprocessing and reinterpretation of soil geochemistry across the eastern Anderson Gold Trend, as well as inverse magnetic modelling across all three properties — Anderson-Davidson, Carlin-Roop Silver, and Edmonton. The company indicates these studies are intended to differentiate Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold Systems from epizonal veining and to locate buried intrusions, which the company considers relevant to refining drill targets.
