“The trenching program and ongoing mapping are providing crucial local geological information within our large mineralized footprint at Ontenu Central,” said Timo Jauristo, CEO. “We will be targeting our first drilling in the Westside Corridor at Ontenu Central where mineralization continuity over 1,000m and widths up to 80m has been demonstrated. We are now linking together the various parts of the wider Ontenu area to demonstrate a large interconnected area of mineralization (over 5km x 3km). Ongoing exploration will also focus on the Central Corridor at Ontenu Central and Ontenu Northeast to define targets to be drilled after the Ontenu Central Westside drilling.”
