Oil and gas group President Energy has declared itself pleased with operational progress in Paraguay, but things have been moving more slowly than hoped in Argentina, though the company ascribed this to prudence rather than technical issues, where the results of the pressure tests at the Argentinian concession have given the company increased confidence of a successful outcome. GoldStone, the exploration company focused on gold exploration in West and Central Africa, said drilling results at is Sangola project in Senegal confirm gold mineralisation two kilometres to the south-west, along the strike zone of the previously reported mineralisation in the central part of Thiabedji. The best gold intersections from the 1,468 samples include three metres of gold at 2.4 grams per ton (g/t), six metres @ 0.9 g/t and six metres at 0.6 g/t.
