Drilling Commences on the Dalli Copper-Gold Project

Persian Gold (AIM:PNG), the Irish based Iranian gold and copper explorer, is pleased to announce that the next phase of drilling at their Dalli porphyry copper-gold project in Central Iran has commenced. The 1,000m drilling programme is targeted at the South Hill area at Dalli to test the lateral and depth extensions of the copper-gold mineralisation already identified.

As previously reported, DH-1 in the South Hill encountered continuous copper-gold mineralisation from the surface to 211 metres depth. DH-2, which was located 85 metres north of DH-1 on the South Hill, encountered continuous copper-gold mineralisation from the surface to 213 metres depth. 

This new drilling programme will investigate if this mineralisation continues at depth.

This release has been approved by Bahman Rashidi, a qualified geologist with more than ten years experience exploring in Iran.
