The first phase of diamond drilling consisted of 15 drill holes totaling 2500 feet (762 meters). The drilling commenced south of the C.O.D. mine shaft and progressed systematically to the north. The first phase of drilling was to confirm mineralization in the first section of the exposed vein under the series of channel samples that were completed and announced on July 19, 2017. As well the company wanted to determine depth and the dip of the vein exposed at surface. Drilling to date has confirmed the vein to a vertical depth of 120 feet (36.6 meters), being open at depth. The first phase of drilling also intersected additional unexpected veining of which additional drilling is required to delineate. Of note, drill hole COD17-14 (which was drilled at 75 ? dip perpendicular to the surface vein) intersected a 55 foot (16.8 meters) core length interval of intensely mineralized quartz vein(s). Pyrite, chalcopyrite, possible telluride and visible gold have been observed in the COD17-14 drill core.

Quality control (QC) samples are inserted at regular intervals.
