Exploration Update
Drill crews have returned to the Moss Mine site and the 2022 exploration drilling program is now underway. Two reverse circulation drill rigs are currently turning on the property.
Michael G. Allen, President of Elevation Gold stated, “We have many new targets to test, in addition to continued resource expansion drilling, and are planning to systematically explore the district scale land package surrounding the Moss Mine, Arizona’s largest pure precious metals mine.”
