Black Tusk Resources Inc. announced that the company have begun preparing drill pads on the McKenzie East gold property located north of Val d'Or, Quebec. Black Tusk has contracted Débroussaillage F Aarie Inc. for clearing brush and preparing drill pads on the McKenzie East Gold Property. A total of 9 sites will be prepared using a Volvo EC 140 excavator-mounted mechanized brush cutting machine. This method of brush clearing and access preparation is the most environmentally efficient and provides a good base for mobilizing and positioning the diamond drill.
