“Initial drilling results on the Cunningham Property are very exciting and validate previous drilling” stated Michael G. Allen, West Kirkland’s Vice President of Exploration. “The Cunningham Property ties in with the recently acquired McLean and Sutton Properties and cover approximately five kilometers of mineralized structure that we will be aggressively exploring.”
