  • Drilling Program Scope: The company plans to drill 3,000 meters of NQ-sized core.
  • Target Area: The drilling will focus on the most encouraging results from the company's successful summer field program at the Lac Comporte silica project, located in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada.
  • Summer Program Results: The summer effort defined a kilometric horizon of quartzite.
  • Assay Highlights: Four samples from the defined horizon returned assays of up to 98 per cent SiO2 (silicon dioxide).
  • Specific High-Grade Sample: Sample E715925 returned a high-grade result of 98.52 per cent SiO2.
