 arrow July 25th, 2010: Elk summer camp

Duane and Morgan Poliquin visited the Elk Gold Project this week. Pictured below from left to right are Morgan, Brian Alexander (project manager), and Peter Daubeny (geologist). The camp and office and core shack are built, and the crew are well fed with an excellent cook. The weather is perfect, and we are looking forward to a rewarding summer program on the Elk.

A 3,000 meter preliminary diamond drilling program is now underway at the Tuligtic copper-molybdenum project, Mexico.  Tom Ullrich, the geologist on the property for Almaden, reports that the drilling is going well despite daily torrents and slick roads. The Tuligtic project is located a hundred kilometres north of Puebla State, and covers a large area of alteration and mineralisation. Almaden is the operator of the current program.  Go to Tuligtic +

 arrow March 21st, 2009: From the Casey Research Summit

From Duane and Morgan Poliquin at theCasey Research Crisis and Opportunity Summit in Las Vegas:

"It is a sold out conference, and we have had the  pleasure of meeting many of our  shareholders with lots of interest in gold and gold related investments. The speakers are economic experts and very convincing that the crisis is not over. They make a strong case that gold continues to be a safe haven in these difficult economic times."

 arrow March 2nd, 2009: (ATW) Lac de Gras, Northwest Territories.

A progress report from the field.  The APEX crew arrived at the camp on Saturday afternoon, and everything is in order. Camp construction will be completed this afternoon. The weather has -20 to -35, and no wind so far.  Good for working outside.

Our ground geophysical survey crew is currently on the lake covering the ATW004 and dyke targets today.  Surveys should be complete over the first 5 proposed drill targets prior to arrival of the drill crews.  They can then continue over the remaining outlier targets without being influenced by proximity to drilling equipment.

The collar location for the 1st drill hole (anomaly ATW004) will be finalized in early next week, with finalization of a further 4 collars in the following few days. Barring any unforeseen complications, drilling should commence by March 6th.

And new photos of the winter road, the camp, and crew. Go to ATW +
