It drilled five holes in the east of the project at Rebel Peak, reporting an intercept of 1.8 meters at 0.9 grams per tonne grade of gold from a depth of 12.2 meters, including 3.1 meters at 7.9 g/t gold.
It is currently planning a second phase of drilling, which will target Rebel Peak and the northern half of the project. The drilling is set to start in the current quarter.
The firm's shares rose 7% in recent Wednesday trade.
