Notable Quotes
- Jonathan Wiesblatt, CEO: “The La Ronge Gold Belt is underexplored and has the potential to host multiple multi‑million‑ounce gold deposits… Greywacke is particularly promising and could quickly grow in size with minimal drilling.”
- Jonathan Wiesblatt, CEO (cont.): “The Company is fully funded, with over C$12.5 million in its treasury… we expect ample news flow in the coming months from this drill program, technical report updates … and continued consolidation of properties in this prolific gold district.”
