The Company was hoping to kick off this year's fieldwork on our Yeehaw Titanium/Rare Earth Element property in British Columbia last month, but the continued closure of the international border due to the Corona Virus is creating issues on that account as upon crossing US resident staff would have to quarantine for 2 weeks prior to commencing the work planned for this field season. Indications are that cross border travel may become less restricted later this month, at which point the Company will commence work relatively immediately.
