Gold Mining Industry Could Be Key to Economic Rebound in Canada - Seite 2

Core drilling of Graycliff's Phase 2 exploration program will include 1,000 meters averaging a hole length of 150 meters. Additionally, once the Phase 2 assay data has been established on these new holes, Graycliff plans to carry out 3D modeling of the area, a core foundation for digital mining. The company will then proceed with the interpreted structure and gold mineralization.
