TAG Gold Property – Atlin Gold District – British Columbia, Canada
The TAG Gold Project follows a 6.2 km gold-bearing fault that has yielded gold and silver in 67 holes drilled to date. Benefiting from the coastal warming effects of the nearby Pacific, this project provides the company with the flexibility for exploration during the winter months.
Outfitted with a fully winterized camp and over 20 kilometres of drill roads, this project is located on Tagish Lake, allowing barging of equipment and supplies from the Yukon resulting in year-round low cost exploration.
The company plans to undertake a drill program to build on a resource calculation released in 2010.
