Tombstone Exploration will evaluate the existing data, and design an exploration programme to confirm the historic information and search for both high-grade gold mineralization, along with large tonnage, low-grade gold mineralisation.
Tombstone Exploration president Alan Brown said the firm has made significant progress in expanding its acreage and will now focus on exploration.
