Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 1, 2023) - K9 Gold Corp. (TSXV: KNC) (FSE: 5GP) (OTCQB: WDFCF) ("K9" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that crews have mobilized to carry out the planned summer field program on the Company's JB Lithium Project in the James Bay Region of northern Quebec. The project covers 6692 Ha in 130 claims.
GroundTruth Exploration, of Dawson City, YK, has been contracted to complete rock and soil sampling coverage of all the claims, along with prospecting and mapping. The crews will be based out of Camp Otish, with helicopter support. A planned LiDAR and photogrammetry survey has been delayed because of the wild fire situation in the region and will be completed as soon as flying conditions are suitable.
Jeff Poloni, President and CEO of K9 commented, "We are very excited to finally get boots on the ground for our fully funded exploration program in a region that has become extremely prolific for lithium discoveries."
