Prospector’s full News Release is appended to this News Release.
Eric Roth, Capella’s President and CEO, commented: “I am pleased to be reporting today that Prospector Metals Corp. continues to generate new high-grade gold targets from ongoing exploration activities at Savant. Previous work had focused almost exclusively on high-grade gold targets in deformed iron formation units, however, Prospector’s current sampling program has confirmed the potential of the Wiggle Deformation Zone to be a significant target in its own right. Prospector also reiterates its intention to begin core drilling at Savant during Q3, 2022, and we look forward to keeping the market updated on progress.”
