| The Amelia drill permit is for a total of 38 drill sites, with 19 sites approved for the first year. Multiple holes can be drilled from each of the sites, so the permit allows for approximately 11,400 meters to be drilled this year. Drill holes are planned initially to test at depth below the mine, followed by testing for an extension of the veins to the east. |
