Delta: In 2019 we continued to evaluate select areas on our 100%-owned Delta project in Alaska to identify targets for future resource expansion drilling.
Helm Bay: Agnico Eagle acquired a 100% interest in the Helm Bay property in southeastern Alaska by staking. The Helm Bay area was the site of small-scale mining during the late 1800s and early 1900s of numerous high-grade gold quartz veins. For 2019 and 2020, our focus has been on obtaining the necessary permits to drill targets generated in 2018, and identifying additional targets.
Gryphon Gold: In 2018, Agnico Eagle entered into a joint venture option agreement to earn a 75% interest in the 10,000-hectare Gryphon Gold property in central Nevada. We plan to continue to do extensive geological mapping, and geochemical and geophysical surveys to better define the existing sediment-hosted gold targets and to generate additional opportunities at this project.
