Great Bear expands drill program at Dixie in Red Lake

In April 2019, Great Bear Resources (TSXV: GBR; US-OTC: GTBDF) doubled the 30,000-metre drill program at its Dixie gold project in Ontario’s Red Lake district. At the time the company had drilled about 12,000 of the initial 30,000 metres. It expects to finish the original program by July 2019, and then spend the rest of the year drilling the additional 30,000 metres. Great Bear has two drill rigs on site, but will add a third rig during the extended program. The two current rigs will continue expanding the project’s Hinge and Dixie Limb zones along strike and at depth, while the third rig will drill regional targets as well as the Hinge and Dixie Limb.
