Fulcrum Metals plc has provided an update on its proposed drilling program for the Tully Gold Project in Ontario, Canada. The company recently conducted site visits to confirm access points and assess the condition of historical drill core and samples. The pre-drilling activities have now commenced, including data reviews, 3D targeting, and further site visits. Fulcrum has also reviewed historical paperwork and identified original assay certificates detailing significant mineralized intercepts from drill hole 97-01, which was part of Black Pearl Minerals Inc.'s drilling program in 1997. The verification of these certificates confirms exceptionally high-grade intercepts, including 2,555.5g/t Au over 0.5 meters.

A total of 138 pallets of drill core have been located, and an inventory has been compiled to assist with the pre-drilling activities assessment. The access roads to the Tully project area, including the mine road and the "Tully" road, are in good condition. Some clearing will be required along the deposit baseline to enable drill access.

The pre-drilling program is expected to comprehensively review all digital data, establish controls on mineralization and grade distribution, review and identify any holes not included in the 2013 resource estimate, locate pulp-reject material from holes of interest, and conduct sampling of selected drill core intervals and/or reject material for analysis. The final winter drill program will be delivered after the completion of the pre-drilling activities.

Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals, expressed excitement about the progress made and the identification of exceptional mineralization in the historical data. He also mentioned that photon assay methods will be used in the upcoming drilling program, which has proven to be more effective in providing accurate results for coarse gold deposits.
