The Zamora Projects are adjacent to and within the same district as the world-class Fruta del Norte Gold Project, which is under development by Lundin Gold Inc (TSE:LUG). Blackdome-Elizabeth plan At the Blackdome-Elizabeth Gold Project in British Columbia, Canada, Tempus aims to begin exploration early in the June quarter of 2020 with sampling and analysis of potentially mineralised drill core from previous drilling programs. This is expected to be followed by drilling and sampling programs at Blackdome and Elizabeth in May, focusing on resource extension, verification and exploration of newly discovered targets. The company intends to update the current NI43-101 resource to JORC standard by the end of the 2020 exploration program.
