"This acquisition of these exploration licenses represents an important milestone in the development and growth of the Goldboro Gold Project, following on the heels the Environmental Assessment Approval received on August 2, 2022, and the recent commencement of exploration drilling to the west of the existing Goldboro Mineral Resource. These exploration licenses represent a significant increase in the Company's mineral property, which will be required for key infrastructure. Signal Gold now has a footprint that is over six times larger than it previously held, which includes an additional 3.2 kilometres of strike potential for a total of 7.5 kilometres of known and prospective strike length, providing a tremendous opportunity for further exploration upside and mineral resource growth."
