Holmer Gold Mines Ltd. commenced an extensive drilling program in Bristol Township near Timmins in late May. The project, near the junction of Highway 101 and Highway 144 about 18 kilometres west of Timmins, will focus on deep drilling from a depth of 200 metres to 350 metres to study a high-grade portion of the main gold zone and investigate a new ultramatic gold zone. Holmer officials believe the property has the potential to develop into a mine given increases in world gold prices.
