Executive commentary on Fortnum Gold Project aircore drilling results

We are encouraged by the results from the recent aircore program at Fortnum. These results come at a time when it appears that investor focus is now shifting back to the gold sector as global inflation fears are appearing to lessen. In addition, the price of gold is reaching new highs which is a commercial reality that we cannot ignore. Fortnum hosts what could be a significant mineralised system, which needs to be further tested through deeper drilling into fresh basement rock.
