After receiving the drill permit, Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. has kicked off a drill program at its TL zinc project in British Columbia.

The program comprises up to 1,800 meters of NQ core drilling in up to six drill holes, the company said Dec. 9.

The target at TL is a large broken hill type or sedimentary exhalative zinc-lead-silver massive sulfide deposit.

The holes will test the main electromagnetic conductor on the property.

In August, the company secured an option to fully acquire the TL project.
