Highlights:

  • Drilling has commenced on 39 RC drillholes for 3,538m that will further test and delineate the known auriferous lode along the length of the tenement at the British King mine (Figure 1).
  • One of the key objectives of this drill programme is to increase the drill hole density across the British King primary lode and its multiple associated ancillary lodes to support further resource evaluation work. These targets have confirmed gold mineralisation that are laterally extensive and remain currently open at depth.
  • Commencing in July, 200 metres of Diamond Drilling (4 drillholes) will test the primary British King lode. The diamond drillhole core will provide invaluable mineralogical and metallurgical samples.
