Canadian Orebodies: On Ice
Part of the challenge in exploration is matching data to theory at the tip of a drill. When Canadian Orebodies (V.CORE) purchased the Black Raven property in April 2017, the initial data that was inherited included a set of historical drill cores which had been drilled by a prior operator, Entourage Metals.

It dropped a bit from there and, the Monday before legalization on Wednesday, October 17, touched 858. The index is now hovering around 500.
