Metallis Hits the Ground at Kirkham and Begins 2020 Phase 1 Exploration Program
VANCOUVER, BC, July 20, 2020 /CNW/ - Metallis Resources Inc. (TSXV: MTS); (OTCQB: MTLFF); (FSE: 0CVM) (the "Company" or "Metallis") announces the commencement of the Company's Phase 1 - 2020 Exploration Program (the "Program") at its 100%-owned Kirkham Property (the "Property"). The Property is prospective for multiple deposit types and is situated within the prolific Eskay camp of the Golden Triangle in northwest British Columbia.
The Company's geological team, led by Dr. Razique, arrived at the Property on Saturday July 18th to immediately begin the Program with a clear objective of expanding both the high-grade gold and deep Copper-Gold potassic zones of the Cliff and Cole Porphyry systems. The Program also includes detailed work at the Company's K9 target located at the base of Nickel Mountain at Garibaldi Resources' E&L project (See News Release dated July 15, 2020).
Fiore Aliperti, Metallis' President and CEO commented, "The IP Survey is a critical component of this year's phase one program, the results of which will support the team in identifying those high-grade gold and deeper copper-gold targets for the upcoming drill program". He added, "The start date of that Survey was dependent on the snow melt in the area. The conditions are now perfect for us to carry out the detailed work needed. We are all excited to get this year's program going after the last few months of uncertainty due to COVID".
