Galleon Gold Corp. reported on the progress of permitting activities at its 100% owned West Cache Gold Project ("West Cache" or the "Project") in Timmins, Ontario. Detail Engineering Design: The proposed West Cache Advanced Exploration Program, includes: 1) the development of a ramp and portal to access the Zone 9 deposit, 2) collection of a bulk sample (up to 100,000 tonnes) and 3) exploration drilling at depth.

The Company reported that it has awarded the contract for the Detailed Engineering Design to Nordmin Engineering Ltd., and work will begin immediately. Design of Raise and Portal - Design of the proposed ramp and raise along with an excavation layout. The portal will be designed to incorporate required services such as ventilation, drill water, compressed air, power and communications with a stable face and overhead protection to the entry as needed.

This work will provide a basis for tendering the mining work and a closure cost estimate/recovery plan per Ontario Reg 240/00. Crown Pillar Assessment - A geomechanical and ground control specialist will complete a crown pillar stability report, ground control support plan for the excavation work and recommendations for underground construction excavation approaches. Design of Mine Service Infrastructure - This work will focus on power, dewatering, mine air heating and mine ventilation services - all in support of the proposed mining effort.

The design will be carried through to equipment specification and information, including costs and delivery schedules currently under consideration for the project. Geotechnical studies will be conducted on any planned infrastructure areas. Design of Surface and Ancillary Infrastructure - Design of the surface stockpiles (both ore and waste) haul roads, underground shop and offices, fuel storage, and explosives magazines.

Detailed Development Plan and Schedule - The proposed underground working design by P&E Consultants (Preliminary Economic Assessment published February 23, 2022) will be refined as needed to develop a detailed layout for the ramp and its headings. The Deswik scheduling tool will be utilized to establish the development plan, schedule and working requirements. Baseline Studies: The Company commenced baseline studies in 2020 and engaged Story Environmental in collaboration with Blue Heron to manage the programs and data collection required for the Advanced Exploration permit application.

A baseline water sampling program was initiated and several years of data has now been collected; in addition, groundwater and hydrogeology monitoring sites were established early and data has been documented accordingly. Aquatic and terrestrial programs have been completed during each season and the archeological assessment is complete.
