Columbia<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>A 10,000 metre drill program is currently underway along the gold rich Seel Trend at Ootsa. \u00a0One drill is focused on testing the expansion and near-deposit exploration potential at the East and West Seel porphyry Cu-Au deposits, the second is testing new exploration targets. <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>HIGHLIGHTS<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Hole S20-219, drilled at the West Seel Deposit, returned <b>0.51% copper equivalent over 700 metres including 0.60% copper equivalent over 422 metres.<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Hole S20-219 intersected the longest continuously mineralized interval drilled at the Ootsa Property to date with mineralization starting at the top of bedrock at 15 metres depth and extending continuously to the end of the hole at 1028 metres depth returning <b>0.42% copper equivalent over 1013 metres<\/b>. <\/li>\n<li>A higher-grade zone returning <b>0.76% copper equivalent over 110<\/b> metres was encountered between 436 and 546 metres depth. <\/li>\n<li>The results demonstrate a large and robust mineralizing system at West Seel with a significant high-grade core.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <b>Hole S20-219<br \/><\/b>Hole S20-219 was drilled at the West Seel Deposit at an azimuth of 208 degrees and a dip of -50 degrees to a total depth of 1028 metres.\u00a0 The hole successfully tested a 200 metre by 200 metre zone at surface with limited drill data before passing through 600 metres of the known deposit, then extended known mineralization roughly 228 metres down dip to the southwest.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hole S20-219 represents the longest continuous zone of mineralization drilled to date on the Ootsa property and the best hole on a copper equivalent grade times thickness basis.\u00a0 Assay results for
