VANCOUVER, Nov. 04, 2021 - A.I.S. Resources Ltd. (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the "Company" or "AIS") announces its drilling program is now underway at the Fosterville-Toolleen project. The driller has been contracted to commence in November and most land access permits have been signed. Aircore/RC Drilling will start on the western side of the exploration licence EL006001. AIS will initially target 20 drill holes, with an overall 42-hole program planned. The drill hole depth will be an average of 65 meters.
The main gravity edge running north south has an associated arsenic in soil response which broadens out significantly over a deeper strong gravity anomaly in the northern part of the survey.
Phil Thomas, CEO commented, "We are very excited to start this second drill program with the new data we have compiled. Our data includes the drill hole, gravity and soils information, as well as advanced models of the structural geology, soil-based gold pathfinders and relationship between the Permian lithology delineated. The Permian rocks where gold nuggets were previously found overlays the Ordivician sediments where historically gold has been found in the local area at Kirkland Lakes's Fostervile Gold Mine whose high grade Swan Zone is located only 12 kms from our project's western boundary."
