Falcon Gold starts initial exploration on newly acquired property near Atikokan
The search for gold is ramping up around Atikokan.
B.C.-based Falcon Gold Corp. has started some initial field exploration south of the Hammond Reef gold deposit.
The company says its work at the West Hammond Contact property will focus on prospecting and evaluating areas for follow-up exploration.
Falcon Gold acquired the property earlier this year.
Chief Executive Officer Karim Rayani states that it positions the company in an emerging gold district.
“Our strategy is to acquire prospective ground in established gold-bearing districts, evaluate historical occurrences and structural targets, and systematically advance opportunities that may have been overlooked,” states Rayani in a release.
“West Hammond is an important part of that strategy, and we are pleased to begin evaluating the property on the ground.”
The results of its work are to be revealed at a later date.
