"Our original drill programs were primarily based on airborne geophysics and limited prospecting," commented Garrett Smith, Ramp Metals' VP of Exploration. "The property has now seen three seasons of prospecting, combined with ground, borehole, and airborne geophysics. This data should greatly improve the accuracy of drilling. We look forward to expanding upon the mineralization discovered during last year's program and testing new targets across the property."
