Three days ago, GGX announced the results of its drilling program at its Gold Drop Property in Southern British Columbia. The mining stock announcement read:
“The November 2018 diamond drilling program (11 drill holes: COD18-61 to COD18-71) tested the southwest region of the COD vein in an area of high-grade gold and silver mineralization. The COD vein is located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Prior 2018 drill holes in this part of the COD vein intersected near-surface high-grade gold and silver mineralization.”
It seems investors are impressed with the company’s latest drilling results. According to Yahoo Finance, the mining stock is currently trading at $0.115 a share, up +$0.03 (+43.75%).
