EnGold Mines Ltd. reported that EnGold has reached an agreement with Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. to acquire the LLH1 mineral claim, comprising 1,315 hectares, for consideration of a 2% NSR of the claim, purchasable by EnGold at any time for $1,000,000. The area of the claim adjoins EnGold's Lac La Hache Property in the Cariboo region of BC and is the same property as the tenures that were part of the "Red Joint Venture" entered into by EnGold & Pacific Empire in 2016 that ended in 2018.

In other news, assay results from the Company's 2021 deep drilling program remain pending due to long delays at assay labs and the large volume of samples submitted. Due to the delay in results, EnGold has delayed the start of the next phase of its deep drilling program by one month to March 1, 2022.
