Notable Quotes

• "We are very pleased to have secured the Ferdinand gold property as we believe it has great potential. Even though the property is located within a highly prospective geological region, very little known historic exploration has occurred on the property due to past inaccessibility challenges. Very recent logging operations have now opened access considerably with new logging roads and cutblocks potentially exposing previously unsampled bedrock structures. We look forward to getting boots on the ground." — Darren Blaney, Chief Executive Officer
