("Silver Quest"), the Company's joint-venture ("JV") partner on the Fawn-Buck property, recently announced that its Board of Directors has approved a $2.2 million budget for the Capoose Project ("Capoose"). The Capoose Project is located on the Nechako Plateau, 185 km southwest of Prince George, British Columbia, and encompasses the Fawn-Buck JV area within the southern portion of the project area.
