Smooth Rock Ventures Corp. announced that the first of two drill programs planned for 2022 at the Palmetto Gold Project has begun. The initial 2022 drill program is designed to expand the current resource by extending the known mineralized zones laterally and at depth.

Drilling will target the high-grade feeder chutes and explore other areas of the project outside of the inferred resource area. A subsequent drill program planned for later in 2022 will be driven by results from the current drill program.
