Ortac Resources Ltd ("Ortac") the AIM listed exploration and development company, today announces that further to the announcement made on 03 March 2014, Andiamo Exploration Limited ('Andiamo'), a company of which it entered into a strategic alliance on 13 January 2014 has commenced a diamond core drill programme at its Yacob Dewar gold and copper exploration project in Eritrea.
