The Fancamp property also hosts the Murgor A, B and C zones.
David Grondin, President and Chief Executive Officer of TomaGold, said that: "This transaction brings our total number of claims in the Monster Lake area to 275 claims for a total area of 13,094 hectares, of which 10,199 hectares are contiguous. The Fancamp property has two exploration ramps, and was subject to trenching and drilling work that led to the discovery by Murgor of five gold zones with very interesting grades and widths. On the Embry property, preliminary exploration work has showed some gold potential."
