This will include:<\/p>\n<p>First property wide EM Survey to be conducted at York Harbour (estimated August)<br \/>\nProperty wide LiDAR Survey (estimated August)<br \/>\nField based reconnaissance mapping and sampling (estimate August to September)<br \/>\nReview of recent and historical drill core (underway); and,<br \/>\nPlanning of initial drill program (estimate August\/September), including submission of plan to expand current permitted drilling locations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an honour and pleasure to have the support of the board in assuming the role of CEO within the Firetail team. The existing asset base, along with the pending York Harbour acquisition is an enviable portfolio of future facing metals, located in some of the best operating jurisdictions,\u201d Poole said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese assets, backed by a highly regarded board and technical support team, provide a robust platform to unlock significant potential for the company and generate value for shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look forward to expediting the exploration efforts across the York Harbour Project. York Harbour has both existing substantial drill intercepts requiring follow up, and large scale prospectivity which has never been evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese high impact programs are only the first steps in the process that l will lead to unlock the potential of this project and wider portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Executive chairman Brett Grosvenor added that Poole\u2019s technical and management expertise will complement the company\u2019s strong portfolio of assets.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><span class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was developed in collaboration with Firetail Resources, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article does not constitute financial product advice.
