The objective of the program is to grid drill through the glacial soil or till (which covers 90-95% of the property) into the bedrock and along strike from high-grade gold surface showings that were found during the 2010 summer field program.
The first full exploration season at Rompas encountered 171 grab samples, which averaged 1,127.9g/t gold and 3.6 % uranium.
The intersection ranged from 0.1g/t to 22,723 g/t gold and 0 to 47.9% uranium and 80 channel samples, which averaged 0.59m @ 203.66 g/t gold and 0.73 % uranium within a sampling footprint of 6km strike and 200-250m width.
Approximately 100-150 diamond drill holes are expected to be drilled with a snowmobile-transportable, low environmental footprint drill rig.
The drill rig is expected to be onsite at Rompas next week and drilling is permitted until winter conditions cease at the end of April.
