Exploration to include deep drilling programs. The joint venture between Maple Gold and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited will increase its 2022 exploration budget by C$4.8 million to support a deep drilling program at the Douay and Joutel Gold projects in Quebec. Goals for the more aggressive step-out and deep drilling program include defining a larger gold system at Douay and extending higher-grade mineralization along the entire past-producing Eagle-Telbel mine trend at Joutel. The deep drilling program is expected to include four to six drill holes and/or drill hole extensions totaling roughly 10,000 meters across Douay and Joutel.
