"Today's high-grade drill results including hole ZG-RC-23-2230-212 near the open-pit area to the East continue to demonstrate continuity of mineralization from surface and at depth over the larger footprint of the deposit," said Benoit La Salle, President & CEO. "We are also very encouraged by the YAKD-23-2100-202 result through definition drilling and expect more significant intercepts in the coming months as we accelerate underground drilling at Zgounder."

Included in this release are results for 397 holes, which include five surface DDH, 13 underground DDH, 284 RC drill hole from pit definition drilling, 95 T28 and 26 YAK holes (T28 and YAK: percussion drilling using an air-compressed hammer).  For
