Adds a Second Drill Rig at Douay, Prepares for Phase I Drilling at Eagle, and Announces Board Changes

Yesterday, the company was actually in the news after it made an announcement with regards to its joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines. The company announced that the joint venture, which is 50% owned by Maple Gold, added a second rig as part of the drilling initiative at the Douay Gold Project in fall of 2021. The project in question is located in Quebec in Canada.

While that was an important announcement from the company, it is also necessary to add that Maple Gold provided another important update as well. The company is also planning to start a Phase 1 drilling program at the Eagle Mine Property, in which it holds 100% ownership.

Maple Gold noted that it is going to start the Phase 1 drilling programme at the initiative at some point in January next year. Despite the fall in the stock price, Maple Gold is a company that investors could consider tracking over the course of the coming weeks.
