Key objectives of the drill programme are:
o Firetower prospect: to test strike continuity and potential depth extensions of mineralisation as guided by recent 3DIP inversions;
o Firetower East prospect (500m east of Firetower): to test 3DIP chargeability anomaly along strike from Firetower prospect in an area previously undrilled.
· Systematic, grid-based drilling to test the centre of the chargeability anomaly at Firetower which is located approximately 150m below surface (previous drilling in the area has only been to maximum depths of approximately 100m).
· Programme will consist of approximately 15 drill holes on five north-south traverses, with drill hole depths ranging from 75 metres up to 250 metres, for total of more than 2,000 metres.
· Additional holes to test a previously undrilled area at Firetower East which was identified by the 3DIP survey and has been selected for drill testing as it displays geological and geophysical features similar to those seen at the Firetower prospect.
· Field activities are expected to commence in late May subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals.
