VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 3, 2020 / Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV:PAC)(OTC PINK:PACXF)(FSE:2NKN) (the "Company" or "Pacton") is pleased to announce that a second drill rig has begun drilling at Pacton's Red Lake gold projects in Ontario, Canada, where the Company is carrying out two, concurrent drill programs. The first drill rig is conducting an 11,500 m program at the advanced Sidace gold project in Red Lake (see Pacton news release dated September 23, 2020), and the Company is currently awaiting assay results for phase I. The second rig has commenced a 10,000 m drill program at Pacton's greenfield exploration project in Red Lake, following up encouraging results from the 2019/20 reconnaissance drill program.
