Mead, Wishbone Gold WA director, commented; "We decided to call it a day for now at 777m depth in this first hole at Red Setter as we await the delivery of more drill rods to site to drill deeper safely. Depending on what we see in the second hole, we will be in a position to extend the depth of this first hole later on in the program. The drill rig will now be setting up on a step-out hole to test the breccia pipe more towards the centre of the system. The plan is to drill the top of the second hole with a rotary mud bit to a depth of approximately 150m before setting casing and drilling on with PQ diamond core followed by narrower NQ core to final depth. The drilling contractor has been asked to mobilise enough drill rods to reach depths of over 1,000m for this program and the Company is investigating the possibility of running the drill program on a double shift basis."
