New note from WH Ireland:
Lexington Gold (LEX) – Corporate – South African Drilling campaign expected to start in December Market Cap £14.7m Share Price 4p Today Lexington announces that it has signed a contract for a 2,000m+ drill programme to be completed at the Bothaville Project, in South Africa’s Witwatersrand. Drilling is expected to commence in mid-December. Drilling will target projections of the A-Reef, a regionally significant source of gold. Compared to other parts of the Witwatersrand, the A-Reef is relatively shallow at Bothaville making it a compelling drill target. Historical drilling at the project indicates that the A-Reef hosts gold in the area. WHI View: We are encouraged that Lexington is starting to test the potential of its portfolio in South Africa. Gold horizons in the Witwatersrand are renowned for their continuity, this, combined with the relatively shallow depth of the A-Reef at Bothaville make for an exciting target. We will monitor results as they are reported. We still see fair value at 15.3p/share.
