Initial work will include re-sampling of the historic core, prospecting, geophysics and a drill program expected to commence this quarter.

Michael Bandrowski, President & CEO of Big Ridge commented,

“With more than $11 million of cash in our treasury, we are excited about the start of our first phase program designed to unlock the full potential of the former producing Hope Brook Gold Project.”

“The known mineralization at Hope Brook provides a great resource to build on and the highly prospective targets in and around the deposit provide an opportunity to make further discoveries and potentially find the source of Hope Brook mineralization.”
