GroundTruth Exploration will oversee RAB drilling. Its GT RAB Drill is environmentally friendly with low ground pressure and minimal surface disturbance. Individual drill holes can be up to 100 metres in depth and are paired with onsite XRF analysis and optical televiewer surveys.

“RAB drilling is a very mobile and cost-effective tool we are utilizing to target the sub-surface with instant XRF analysis and downhole optical viewing. The Dorset Project remains a top priority for Leocor based on our impressive inaugural RAB results from 2022, and we’re looking forward to continuing the project’s development,” said Leocor CEO Alex Klenman.

Leocor Gold is a British Columbia-based resource company involved in the acquisition and exploration of precious metal projects, primarily in Atlantic Canada. Earlier this month, the company began its drill program on the Baie Verte Project. Click here to read more.
