The Companies have executed a contract with Terraquest Ltd to fly a detailed, 100 m-spaced, 1,600-line km Mag-VLF survey. The survey will be used to map lithological units, guide fieldwork and locate geological structures which control gold mineralization. In addition, the Companies have received the ground exploration permit, and personnel have begun the initial prospecting and mapping on the Property.
Benton and Sokoman anticipate these initial activities to generate gold targets for further exploration. Results will be released as they are received and compiled.
