The JV will continue to assess additional opportunities for future development of the mine, including other potential open-pit and underground deposits.

Premier Gold plans to complete drilling from the Arturo pit in a bid to further define the El Nino underground deposit situated down plunge of the existing Phase 2 pit.

The company has a series of projects in Canada and the US that include gold mining districts such as Red Lake and Geraldton in Ontario and the Carlin and Eureka-Battle Mountain Trends in Nevada.
