A field visit conducted on July,10 2020 confirmed the historical drill hole sites and blasted trenches. Strong iron carbonate alteration and deformation was evident.

King Tut is located in Abitibi Gold Belt, a region of Canada that extends from Wawa, Ontario to Val-d'Or, Quebec (see Map 1). It is an established gold mining district having produced over 100 mines, and 170 million ounces of gold since 1901.2 The property is located North of the Chicobi North Fault zone, a regional structure controlling gold mineralization through extensive shearing and hydrothermal alteration systems.
