Drilling targets have already been defined by our team following recent field work. Dios has been working on K2 for the last few years and these funds added to the March financing will enable us to start first ever drilling in that area, for instance on WI target 3 km long electromagnetic conductor, which is not outcropping, but adjacent soil sampling returned high gold values, and highly altered felsic rock boulders with 1-20% pyrite were observed“.Securities issued under this financing will be subject to a hold period of four months.
