These new claims not only extend our coverage to the north and east but also provide a wider operational buffer around the historic Defender workings.\n\n“With winter conditions receding, our team will be back on site in the next few weeks to continue to implement this year’s fully funded exploration programme and we are all eager to begin work and start feeding results back to the market. Encouraging results have already been achieved and with an expanded land package now in place, we look forward to building momentum at Defender-Pine Crow throughout the coming field season.”"}
