After this work, we are planning an additional 2000-3000 metre drill program this fall."
In addition to the completion of drilling in Zulema, the company is readying a summer drill program on its Bass River project in Nova Scotia with JV partner Tejas Gold. "At Bass River, a ground Pulse Electro-Magnetic (PEM) survey will be completed over the Castlereagh VTEM target defined in a 2015 airborne survey conducted by Geotech Ltd. The survey results will be provided to Minotaur Exploration Ltd. who will model and prioritize the drill targets. A 2000 + meter drill program will follow. The targets are an extension of the mineralized system intersected in a 2015 drill program located southwest of the Castlereagh VTEM anomaly." commented Cruickshank. Details of Chileans Nova Scotia Exploration program will be announced in the coming weeks.
Chilean Metals will require regulatory approval to complete the private placement.
