I'm pleased to report positive results in all these three areas." Mr. Brown continued, "On the operations side, our drilling and trenching operations are working at full capacity and we're on schedule to meet our aggressive summer exploration goals. I'm also very pleased with the favorable interaction, feedback and advice received during an extensive meeting with several senior officials from the Yukon government agencies responsible or involved in the regulatory aspects of mineral exploration and development in the Territory.
