Portofino Receives Drilling Permit for South of Otter, Red Lake Property; Mobilizes Crew to Further Evaluate Gold Discovery
(firmenpresse) - Vancouver, B.C., August 07, 2020 - PORTOFINO RESOURCES INC. (POR: TSX-V) (POTA: FSE) (Portofino or the Company) is pleased to announce the Company has been issued an Exploration Permit (the Permit) for its South of Otter Project from the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development, and Mines. As part of the Permit process, Portofino consulted with and received support from all local indigenous groups. The Permit is valid for 3 years and will allow for trenching, diamond drilling, and line cutting to be completed within the Project claim area.
The Company has also mobilized an exploration crew to the project to further explore the area and determine the extent of mineralization related to its new gold discovery announced August 5, 2020. Due to limited rock exposure at surface, a hydraulic excavator will be used to remove overburden at the new discovery to determine width and for additional trenching along strike. The crew is tasked with assessing the potential of the new discovery and determining the optimal exploration steps to a diamond drilling program.
Portofinos CEO, David Tafel comments; Receiving the Permit is timely for Portofino as it allows us to immediately expand our exploration program focused on our recent high-grade gold discovery. We are pleased to be able to mobilize our field crew so quickly and commence mechanical trenching along this new gold trend.
