Paul Wood, CEO of BTU states "The proposed acquisition of Great Bear by Kinross for approximately $1.8 billion follows Barrick's announcements of transactions with Dixie Gold and Red Lake Gold, adjacent or proximal to the BTU Dixie Halo property. Clearly the tier one producers are recognizing the tremendous prospectivity for gold mineralization and gold production potential in the underexplored parts of the Red Lake area. We have just completed 10 holes on widely spaced targets, the core is being logged and samples will be sent to the lab shortly. Drilling will resume in the new year at both the Pakwash North (TNT) project and at Dixie Halo".
BTU Metals Corp. is a junior, mining exploration company focused on its Dixie Halo project located in Red Lake, Ontario.
