We have made significant progress at our Goldboro Project and achieved some important value creating milestones. We recently published a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment, have seen exceptional results from our diamond drilling program, and will soon submit an Environmental Assessment application and begin a 10,000-tonne bulk sample.
