Goldshore Resources has expanded its drilling of its Moss Gold Project.

The potentially gold-rich area is located between Atikokan and Thunder Bay.

Goldshore Resources says the added work is looking to identify additional resources in an area where an open pit is proposed.

“We’re very pleased to expand our existing program, fueled in part by efficiencies from our ongoing work, as this will allow us to focus on drilling in the southwest deposit with the objective to deepen the southwest open-pit resource to the same depths of the Main-QES pit,” says company Chief Executive Officer Michael Henrichsen in a release.

The company now estimates at least 6 million ounces of gold that could be mined through both open pit and underground operations.
