This financing strategy strengthens VR’s business model in general, and more specifically our exploration programs in both Ontario and Nevada through 2021. In particular, these funds will allow us start planning immediately for follow-up drilling in September at Hecla-Kilmer, including the confirmation of key service company contracts necessary for the successful execution of that program. In the meantime, we continue to advance our various drill programs in Nevada, and we look forward to providing further updates in the future.”
