While the 3,000 tonne-per-day mill needs some equipment and upgrading, there is an existing tailings dam, a water treatment plant and available power. Ascot is in the process of acquiring the Silver Coin property from Jayden Resources Inc. [JDN-TSXV], 80%, and Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. [MTB- TSXV; MBYMF-OTC], 20%, which is expected to close in October. Silver Coin, 5 km from the Premier mill, is located between the Premier mill and the Big Missouri area. Silver Coin hosts a NI 43-101 resource for the high-grade core hosting 702,000 tonnes grading 4.46 g/t gold in the indi - cated category and 967,000 tonnes of 4.39 g/t gold inferred. Ascot's drilling at the Big Missouri ridge has continued to intercept high-grade gold mineralization at all three known horizons: the Province Zone close to sur - face; the Big Missouri Zone at a depth of 160-200 metres; and an unnamed zone 100 metres below the Big Missouri Zone. Gold mineralization has been intercepted at the separate Unicorn Zone. All areas are located at the company's Premier/Dilworth property. Highlights include 5.0 metres of 18.31 g/t AuEq in Hole P18-1714 at the Province Zone. Benchmark Metals Inc. [BNCH-TSXV; CYRTD-OTCQB; A2JM2X-Ger; A7CA-FSE] is advancing the Lawyer's gold and sil - ver project along the eastern edge of the Golden Triangle in the Toodoggone region 45 km northwest of the Kemess gold and copper mine. Sampling has returned very high gold and silver assays – 220 g/t gold and +10,000 g/t silver. Brixton Metals Corp. [BBB-TSXV; BXTMF-OTC] has completed fieldwork at its 100%-owned Thorn Project in the Sutlahine River area. Porphyry specialist, Brock Riedell, completed a program of core re-logging, geological mapping and sample collection for whole rock lithogeochemical analysis combined with short-wave infrared spectroscopy (SWIR). This is a cost-effective method to vector for copper-gold porphyry targets. Final results are pending. Casa Minerals Inc. [CASA-TSXV] reported significant rock and soil analy - ses from its 100%-owned polymetallic silver-copper-lead-zinc Keaper Project 20 km northeast of Terrace. A drilling permit has also been received for the Keaper Project. Highest rock sample values, including recent 2018 samples, include: 1,512 g/t sil - ver, 0.88% copper, 1.10% lead and 13.9% zinc; 2, 232 g/t silver, 1.12% copper, 1.28% lead and 10.94% zinc; as well as 19 g/t silver and 3.32% copper. Recent fieldwork confirmed and extended the Nelson prospect and identified
