(TSX-V: PGLD) (OTCQB: PGLDF) report that exploration crews are mobilizing this week to commence exploration of the Eskay-Corey Property located in the Golden Triangle of northwest British Columbia. Eskay and P2 agreed to a business combination on June 4, 2024 (see the joint Eskay-P2 news release dated June 4, 2024) and concurrently signed an exploration services agreement pursuant to which P2 agreed to carry out an exploration program on the Property this year.
