Nighthawk will commence camp modifications this year which will include, installation of additional sleeper tents; a second core shack; expanding camp operational facilities including a larger generator to address the additional power needed to support an operation of up to five (5) drills that will generate between 70,000 metres to 75,000 metres of drilling.
The company’s 2020 exploration program is underway with three drills and an expected 25,000 metres of drilling where approximately 20,000 metres would be focused at Colomac. In addition, two of the high-priority regional targets, the Leta Arm Gold Project (“Leta Arm”) and the Treasure Island Gold Project are being drilled this year and will be expanded during the 2021 program.
