Kirkland Lake Discoveries Provides Operations Update
Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. (TSX-V - KLDC) ("KLDC or the "Company") announces that it has delayed drilling activities at the Goodfish-Kirana and Lucky Strike projects due to increased forest fire risk in the Kirkland Lake area.
On a daily basis, Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources ("MNR") provides four-day weather forecasts as well as a Cooperators report that presents the current fire situation with an active log of fires (https://www.ontario.ca/page/fire-intensity-codes-industrial-operations). KLDC is monitoring the conditions closely with Forage FTE Drilling to ensure safe and productive working conditions.
Danièle Spethmann, President and CEO, Kirkland Lake Discoveries, stated, "We have delayed mobilizing our drill to site until the situation improves. We are vigilantly monitoring the conditions and remain in communication with local stakeholders and our drilling team on the current status of the forest fire situation and will update the market with respect to any material changes."
The KLDC team is still able to perform low-risk exploration activities, including mapping and sampling, but the operation of heavy machinery is not permitted currently.
