The May-Qu target, 17 kilometers to the southeast of Mahtin North target has also been mapped and sampled. Initial results from grab sampling have returned assays including 2.22 g/t Au, 2.12g/t Au and 1.74 g/t Au. A RAB drill program of three holes totaling 300m has also been completed here.
Further assays are pending from the laboratory for both surface sampling and the initial drilling. Results will be released when these are finalized.
