The focus of the fall 2018 trenching program is the Silent Friend and Ken gold bearing veins near the Gold Drop and North Star gold and silver bearing vein systems. Most of the historic work and production has occurred at the Gold Drop and North Star vein systems. The 2017 prospecting program yielded significant results including 297 grams per tonne gold (g/t) and 1290 g/t silver sampled in dump pile quartz from what is believed to be the southern Silent Friend showing. Samples from a mineshaft dump pile north of this exposure assayed 6.98 g/t gold and 38.6 g/t silver. Samples collected from a mineshaft to the south, speculated to be the Ken mineshaft, assayed 4.47 g/t gold and 23.0 g/t tonne silver (News release November 8, 2017).

The objective of the program is to locate and trace the quartz veins in between the historical workings. Modern trenching has proven to be useful on the Gold Drop Property by extending veins where historical trenches failed. An example is the recent discovery of the Gold Drop extension south of historic workings (News Release of September 20, 2018).
