A2 Gold completes geophysics program at Eastside
Executive Summary
- A2 Gold completed a two‑phase geophysical survey (gravity, high‑resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric) across the Eastside project, providing data that will guide target selection for an upcoming 18,000 m RC drill program.
- The company is concurrently advancing a 2,000 m diamond core drilling campaign at the McIntosh zone, with three holes underway and first‑hole results expected within weeks.
- A new marketing and investor‑relations agreement was signed with The Investing Authority (TIA) for $150,000 cash fees over four months, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
