The result of this effort is a formidable package of legal documents pertaining to PGOK ownership of the Assets and registration documentation of the properties and land relevant to the Assets. We can now proceed with the final stage of the legal due diligence, geological and technology due diligence and NI 43-101 compliant TEA of the Project" states Mr. Rodney Irwin, CEO and President.
