Further drilling on this target is planned for next month.

Drilling at Deep Kerr to date has generated wide intercepts containing approximately twice the per tonne metal value of KSM's proven and probable reserve.The KSM Project, located in north western British Columbia, Canada, contains one of the largest undeveloped gold and copper reserves in the world. Its composite intrusive complex hosts four large gold-copper porphyry deposits, including Iron Cap and Kerr, with direct genetic links to epithermal vein deposits including those owned by neighboring Pretium Resources.
