The newly staked claims that do not form the Amisk Gold joint venture project are held 100% by St. Eugene and are referred to as the Amisk North Project. Although a detailed plan and budget has not yet been finalized for the 100% held Amisk North Project, St. Eugene will immediately be conducting an airborne survey.
