Pleasingly, drill permitting for the first two phases of drilling has been received from 10 October and Forage Multi Drilling, based in nearby Rouyn Noranda, has been engaged to conduct the diamond drilling program, with a mobilisation date of 8 November 2021 confirmed.
GoldMinds Geoservices will provide the on-site geology team overseeing the drilling program and core processing, with owner Claude Duplessis bringing over 30 years of geological experience and intimate knowledge of the Labyrinth and Denain gold projects. The focus of the first phase of drilling at Denain will be to infill known significant historical holes and follow up areas of high-grade surface sampling, commencing on a trajectory towards a maiden JORC resource in 2022.
