NAP has plans for all three gold properties. At the Sleeping Giant mine a $2.1-million drill program will be carried out to further extend the life of the mine and upgrade resources to reserves. A further 10,000 metres of infill drilling is planned at the Flordin property, and an environmental impact study for the Discovery project has been filed. Both the Flordin and Discovery properties are within trucking distance of the Sleeping Giant mill.
