Richmond Hill Resources (RHR ) has received its drilling permit for the Martello project from the Ontario Ministry of Energy and Mines.
The permit authorises mechanised core drilling and is valid until 20 July 2029.
The proposed drill hole locations may be refined after further analysis of the current exploration data and as the drill program advances, depending on geological observations and findings during the program.
Pending receipt of assay results from the recent field program, the company’s exploration consultants Critical Discoveries will update the current model with the field data collected to confirm whether the existing drill plan remains the best option.
"It's pleasing to get the drill permit obtained in a timely fashion,” said Hamish Harris, chief executive of Richmond Hill.
“We look forward to working with Critical Discoveries to support the next phase of drill targeting at our priority target in Sakoose."

The company recently completed a field campaign at Martello, and the early indicators are that several quartz veins are present on the property, as well as sulphides. The return of the assays will tell us more, and help to confirm whether the current drill targets are correctly located. There’s a lot going on here, and Richmond Hill is making rapid progress.
