Ann: Operational and Canadian listing update, page-34

We can contrast the latest info we have on gold anomalies with the original exploration planning.

First figure is from the 6 December 2018 announcement and the second figure is from the 19 July 2018 announcement. We can see in the top figure the additional areas where they have done chip and channel sampling. I've also highlighted where they plan to do an IP Survey ( an IP survey will essentially extend the zone of geophysics data they have ... you can see this as the coloured areas in the bottom figure ).

I was able to find the application form that is used for permitting. They need to provide full details of drill hole locations, so because of the expanded exploration target they may be keen to also drop a hole or two into the new zones.

From the form we can see that 11 government agencies are involved in permitting. They need to provide quite a bit of information.

Last year they submitted the application sometime before 27 April 2018 and had a planned start in June 2018 ( although the plan announced 26 February 2018 did note they would finalise drill permitting in June 2018 ).
