Toronto-listed Generation Mining said on Thursday that drilling at its Marathon palladium/copper project, in Ontario, would resume shortly, after authorities lifted fire restrictions.
At the time of suspension, the 8 000-m drilling programme was more than half finished.
Seven holes were drilled on the Central Feeder zone west of the Marathon deposit, where most of the exploration drilling has taken place during the past 18 months. The core from those holes has all been sent for assay and the company is anticipating results in the coming weeks.
Three holes were also drilled into the Chonolith zone located north of the Marathon deposit. Core from these holes has been logged and split and samples have been sent for assay.
