Despite previous delays beyond the control of Xander, the Company is now ready to start the first 3 drill holes of its 9-hole maiden drilling program on the Senneville Claim Group.

Xander plans to drill the first 3 holes of a 9-hole program totaling over 3,000 meters to confirm the successful drilling conducted on the property in 2012 (reported in the Xander’s press release dated November 19, 2020). The sites have been prepped with drill pads which are just off Route 397 Nord and 22 km North of Val-d’Or, Quebec. Gold-bearing zones in this area are associated with shear zones, faults, tension fractures and tectonic breccias and generally associated with syn-volcanic intrusions (ref: GM68366 garden island report page 24 (section deposit type)).
