An RC rig is drilling pre-collars for the deeper diamond core holes that will be necessary to test three large IP targets that sit below extensive high grade soil anomalies at Bon Noi, and two large IP targets at Nam Yen. The diamond core drilling is expected to start shortly.

The company has also received further encouraging results from RC drilling at the Pha Sod zinc prospect, which indicate a trend towards higher grade mineralization as the drilling approaches a recently identified IP anomaly.

The IP anomaly at Pha Sod sits below the area drilled and is similar to the very large IP anomalies that sit beneath the drilling at Bon Noi and Nam Yen.

Drilling completed at Pha Sod is not deep enough to penetrate the IP anomaly so after extending the IP survey for better definition, deeper holes will be drilled to test this.
