Over in the southeast, we are the only landholder of note. The Bengough land package near the town of Bengough is where we're going to go after we're done with Climax.
We already have 3d seismic in place over the Bengough project and we'll be completing the aeromagnetics here in the spring and summer with a view to getting on the ground to start drilling in the fall.
As I mentioned, the highest known concentrations of helium are located in this part of the province. It has not been developed or explored specifically for helium yet. We will be the first.
The wells are a bit deeper here, in sort of the 2 800 meter depth down to the Precambrian basement.
This is not terribly deep, globally speaking, but it is deep for Saskatchewan and you have to drill through the potash formation, which can provide some interesting drilling challenges. It's not new as it happens all the time and we will just be another one doing it.
We are very excited about what we're going to find here in the southeast simply because we're at the frontier of it. Nobody else of any scale is operating in this area. Those are the land packages that we hold.
They combine for about a million acres in total of helium permits and rights that we have in the province, all of which we intend to work in a systematic basis with the view of becoming a major inert gas player in North America. We've got a great local team that's supporting us.
The consultants from Saskatoon and Estevan and you name it are all locally helping us build this out as we go. @adavidsonsk#Bullish

.@allanbreports I'm looking at the "GUNSIGHT" silver mine in Arizona. It's in the TOHONO O'ODHAM NATION property. Respect. The patented mining claims and patented mill site (with water) bring certain rights within the US legal system. I need special advisor @allanbreports ?
I'm more bullish on Saskatchewan than any place in the world, basically. Really! In a global, comprehensive, top-to-bottom analysis, I don't know of any other place that I like better.
There is no other place where I have had more wins consistently throughout my career than Saskatchewan with me being 35 years old and doing this for over a decade in whatever way you want to define what it is that I'm doing now.
It's funny to think that we talked about that research funding -- as I move forward in the junior mining business, I look at the opportunities with that stuff again and again.
"Bulk mineralized zones have been identified at Roberto Tovar where three close-spaced, parallel high-angle veins and internal wall rock show composited grades of 18 metres of 450 eq g Ag/t." I like that.
"Drilling continues to prove up confidence at Santa Ana," commented Outcrop Chief Executive Officer Joseph Hebert. "We have drilled the best holes yet, while still early in our exploration program. We are excited about potential as mineralization remains open in all directions."
0.95m with 69.6 g/t Au and 5,550 g/t Ag? Zn 3%.
Gold-equivalent of 147.6 g/t and silver-equivalent of 10,784? OK! Hello @OutcropGold
@bill3658 this picture is impressive. Thanks @OminecaMining for first geological map of WINGDAM. Great to stacked geological horizons marked out. Amazing to see how close the local mines are to geological contacts...
PHR - Harvey's Ridge.
HR- Ramos.
Important rock units in Cariboo orogenic gold models. Thanks @GeoscienceBC !
2/ The roots of the porphyry system are exposed at surface approximately 8 kilometers west of their exploration area and the top of the system was split from the roots by a fault.
3/ The deposit of interest is concentrated in the top of the system and it was either moved downwards and preserved under the valley, or moved up and eroded away.
