TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2020 / Black Tusk Resources Inc. ('Black Tusk' or the 'Company) (CSE:TUSK)(OTCPINK:BTKRF)(FRANKFURT:0NB) is pleased to announce that the application for a permit to conduct exploration drilling on the McKenzie East Gold Project has been submitted to Quebec Ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks. The application process was prepared by Sulviculture La Verendrye of Amos, Quebec. The location of proposed drilling was determined by Black Tusk's geological team.

The McKenzie East Project permit will allow for the construction of 18 drill pads, 11 water supply stations and 3 kilometres of access trails. Black Tusk anticipates conducting this work during the 2020 exploration season.

Prior to conducting diamond drilling on the property, Black Tusk plans to undertake surface prospecting, mapping and sampling once access to the property is conducive for this work, expected to be later this spring. Areas of interest were determined from the results of the recently completed magnetic survey over the property combined with the results from historic exploration work.
