Major potential catalysts are ahead for all three companies:
ITKO announced today that the company has mobilized a second core rig (its third drilling rig in total) at its Champagne gold project in Idaho as part of its 5,000m drilling program to focus on new target areas identified between and around the two past-producing open pits. ITKO confirms that its technical team has identified favorable geology and alteration in the holes that have been drilled and logged so far. ITKO's geologists have also developed additional targets peripheral to the historic open pits from mapping, sampling, and analysis of historic prospects and reports. By adding this additional drill rig even before assay results are returned, ITKO is maximizing its opportunity to assess these targets before the onset of winter. Separately, ITKO has completed its 13 hole 2020 exploration program at the Baner project in Idaho and is encouraged by the geology and alteration encountered. Drilling results from Baner will be coming soon followed by drilling results from Champange.
Psychedelic mushrooms are on the ballot in Oregon and Washington DC one week from today and NUMI will likely benefit greatly if these two initiatives pass.
SPRT's 3Q 2020 results will likely be released before the open on Friday of next week (November 6, 2020). We are expecting SPRT to report a very strong quarter due to the remote learning boom.
