Cluff sees strong potential in Sierra Leone Business Financial Newswire West African focused gold mining firm Cluff Gold has successfully completed the 7,000 metre drilling programme at Baomahun, its flagship gold project located in Sierra Leone. The drill holes were programmed to intersect depth extensions of known mineralised ore shoots. All assay results have been received from the eleven completed holes. The results demonstrate the down dip continuity of mineralisation at grades and widths which the company considers show strong potential to support an underground operation either alongside or subsequent to an open pit operation.

Second approach for National Express Business Financial Newswire National Express says it has received an approach from another potential bidder following its decision not to enter discussions with FirstGroup. The rail and bus operator's statement followed an announcement by FirstGroup that it does not intend to make an offer for the group. National Express announced on June 29 that it had received 'a highly preliminary approach regarding a potential share-for-share merger' from FirstGroup. 'The board confirmed that it was focused on implementing a number of initiatives to strengthen the group and did not consider it appropriate to enter into discussions with FirstGroup. 'The group subsequently received an approach in connection with a possible offer for the group from another third party whose intentions are not yet known. 'There can be no certainty that this approach will lead to an offer being made for National Express or as to the terms on which any offer might be made.'
