PLAN OF ACTION Prepare 43-101 compliant report based on historic drilling
Quantify geometry and extent of high grade copper zone (5 holes, 500m)
Carry out verification drilling within shallow copper-moly blanket (10 holes , 1,500 m) and select samples for metallurgical tests.
Verify and deepen previous drill holes in moly zone (4 holes, 1,400 m).
Investigate extensions to the moly zone (2 holes, 600 m)
Prepare Pre-Economic Assessment of shallow copper blanket and associated moly mineralization (M.D.A. Reno and M3 Engineering, Tucson)
