KO Gold planned to continue drilling at the Smylers Gold Project to delineate a potential gold deposit, and complete prospecting, soil sampling, geophysics, and drilling programs on its other permits with significant discovery potential. KO Gold has access to local, highly-experienced geological teams and independent mining consultants such as RSC Consulting Ltd. to support all of its exploration and drilling programs. Extensive geological and structural mapping has been conducted at the Smylers Gold Project and compiled with historical data to understand the mineralization and plan surface sampling and drilling. Combined, KO Gold and Hyde Resources Ltd. have collected a total of 349 rock-chip samples, 5,330 soil samples, dug 14 trenches totalling 832 m, and drilled 41 diamond and 64 reverse circulation (RC) drillholes for a combined total of 15,591 m. Exploration has identified seven gold prospects within EP60389 (Smylers Gold).

Gold mineralization has been intercepted from surface to over 150 m deep, and significant assay intercepts include: 5 m at 3.4 g/t Au including 1 m at 8.3 g/t Au; 2 m at 4.7 g/t Au; and 3.6 m at 2.14 g/t Au.
