Commencement of Drilling

Berkeley Resources is pleased to advise that three diamond drilling rigs have now mobilized for the initial confirmatory drilling program at the Salamanca Uranium Project.

The objectives of the drilling program are:

to verify and supplement the exploration targets at Mina D, Sageras/Zona M and Alameda within the ENUSA State Reserve licenses; 

to enable JORC compliant resource estimates; and 

to provide representative geotechnical and metallurgical samples.

Approximately 60 diamond drill holes, totaling about 5,000m are planned.
