Falcon Gold Corp (TSX-V:FG, OTC:FGLDF) has provided investors with an update on its inaugural drill program at the Great Burnt copper project in Newfoundland.
The company said after high water levels in the spring caused delays in accessing the property, it applied for additional permits to build 8 kilometers of additional road to access the drill site that is anticipated to be completed by the end of the week.
It said it would provide an additional update on the drill program’s status once equipment can be mobilized to the site.
"Falcon is opportunistically positioned in what is shaping up to be Newfoundland's highest-grade copper district. After a small setback in timing, we are nearly ready to commence operations at our 100%-owned Great Burnt copper project,” Falcon Gold CEO Karim Rayani said in a statement.
“We look forward to reporting back on the start date once confirmed. Scheduled drilling is testing up to 10 geophysical anomalies with a maximum of 1,100 metres of drilling.”
