Group Ten Metals Inc. said Jan. 2 that it completed the earn-in requirements over the 24-square-kilometer Black Lake claim block, part of the Black Lake-Drayton gold project in northwest Ontario.

As a result, the Canadian junior explorer now owns the full right and title over 96% of the 114-square-kilometer project, with the remaining portion subject to an earn-in agreement.

Group Ten also said that field programs at its Montana, Ontario and Yukon projects, including its flagship Stillwater West platinum group metals-nickel-copper project, will be conducted over the year.
