More drills could be working on Osisko Mining's Hammond Reef project north of Atikokan by the end of the year.
Osisko acquired the project following its takeover this year of Brett Resources.
Jean-Sébastien David, a company vice-president, says they already have thirteen drills in place.
"We will add a couple of more drills before Christmas," says David. "We might have fifteen drills which would make it one of the biggest drilling programs in Canada."
David says results of the program will help in the development of a feasibility study for the project.
