The Motherlode mine is road accessible and is approximately 2.5 km northwest of the town of Greenwood in British Columbia (Figure 1).
Brian Testo, President and CEO of Grizzly Discoveries, stated, "We are excited to have reached an agreement to acquire the historical Motherlode Mine. We look forward to an aggressive year drilling at the Motherlode Mine and other high-grade gold - silver - copper showings and historical mines in 2024 along with additional exploration for significant battery metals in our current 170,000+ acre land holdings in the Greenwood District."
