Gold Terra Resource Corp has confirmed the suspension of its Yellowknife drill program due to the current wildfire evacuation order. The company has decided to temporarily halt its drilling activities as a precaution until further notice. All employees and contractors have been safely removed from the area. The drill program had reached a depth of 1900 meters in Hole GTCM23-055 before encountering an issue caused by one of the operators. The contractor was able to resolve the issue just before the evacuation order was issued. Hole GTCM23-055 was targeting the down plunge extension of the Campbell Shear zone and intended to test for gold mineralization below the Con Mine deposit. Gold Terra is hopeful that the suspension will be short-lived and that drilling operations can resume in the near future. Chairman and CEO Gerald Panneton stated that the safety of employees and residents is of utmost importance and wished for a safe evacuation and rainfall in the area. The progress made in Hole GTCM23-055, including the intersection of gold in the Con Shear, is significant and opens up the potential for additional gold ounces in the area.
