David Clark, Burin Gold’s CEO, commented: “Since Burin Gold listed on the TSX Venture Exchange in late November 2021, we’ve moved quickly with preparations for our first phase drill program at Hickey’s Pond. We now have the foundations for an excellent technical team, a first-rate drilling partner, and all the necessary local infrastructure near the project. This program is fully permitted, and we expect that drill mobilisation will commence before the end of January. This is an exciting phase for the Company and its shareholders, and I look forward to seeing & sharing drill results in the coming months.”

Exploration manager

Burin Gold is pleased to announce that Mr. Jeffrey Burke, EP, PGeo, has joined Burin Gold as Exploration Manager. Jeff is a registered professional geoscientist (PGeo) in the province of Newfoundland & Labrador and an environmental professional (EP) with over 12 years of experience in mineral exploration and project management. He has worked extensively with various epithermal gold systems across Atlantic Canada in both technical and project management capacities. Jeff will be responsible for managing the exploration activities of the Company on its Hickey’s Pond Gold Project.

Airborne geophysics

Burin Gold previously announced (see Company news release of Nov 29, 2021) that Geotech Ltd. had commenced an airborne geophysical survey on the Company’s property in Newfoundland. Survey activities progressed through December 2021, but progress was slowed by equipment malfunctions and weather delays, and the survey was not completed before the holiday period began. Geotech Ltd. personnel returned to Newfoundland in early January 2022, and survey activities have recommenced. The Company expects that the survey should be completed before the end of January 2022. The airborne inductively induced polarization (“AIIP”) data are expected to assist the Company in defining targets along strike of the known alteration trends on the property and help with district-scale interpretation. The Company already has AIIP data over the main Hickey’s Pond alteration system from its previous surveying.
