Appropriate safety precautions are in place to minimise impacts from COVID-19 on planned drilling.
- Resolution is fully funded for the next drill program.
Spring thaw: Spring thaw has commenced at the 64North Project site and Resolution Minerals (RML or Company) plans to resume drilling in the second half of May after the drill access road dries up to the Aurora Prospect. As the drill access road is new, it has exposed frozen ground which makes the first thaw after new road construction very muddy and impassable for a few weeks (weather dependant). This road will then provide access all year round and avoids helicopter supported drilling and to help maximise the use of exploration funds on the Aurora Prospect, 64North Project.

“We are very pleased that we have achieved the aim of our maiden drilling program, which was to successfully identify a Pogo-style mineral system on our side of the fence, pending assay results for final confirmation.
“As well as assays next week, we also look forward to the next drill program when we can hit our highest priority holes, for logistics reasons associated with COVID-19 we did not get a chance in March to drill test these holes at the Aurora Prospect.”
