Operations
Phase 4 Drilling Program:
The Company's Phase 4 drilling program commenced at the Forrestania Gold Project on August 8th , 2018 and was completed on 6t h September 2018. It was designed to follow-up high-grade extensions at Lady Magdalene, Lady Lila and the Kat Gap deposits identified during the Phase 1-3 drilling programs.
Phase 4 drilling at FGP
- 5 RC holes totaling 454 m at Lady Magdalene;
- 5 RC holes totaling 366 m at Lady Lila, and
- 18 RC holes totaling 1,588 m at Kat Gap.
In addition to the RC drilling at Lady Magdalene, Lady Lila and Kat Gap deposits, on-going geological work including detailed prospect scale mapping, rock chip sampling and prospecting activities were also carried out.
Samples from the Phase 4 drilling program were submitted to local laboratory's for chemical analysis. The results obtained are detailed in the Company's 29th October 2018 announcement.
Phase 5 Drilling Program:
The Company's Phase 5 drilling program commenced at the Forrestania Gold Project on 3rd November 2018 and was completed on 8th November 2018. This program was designed to extend high-grade mineralized gold zones at Kat Gap. These drill holes were designed around the exceptional intersections returned from the Phase 4 drilling Program.
Phase 5 drilling at FGP
- 23 RC holes totaling 1,155 m at Kat Gap.
Samples from the Phase 5 drilling program were submitted to local laboratory's for chemical analysis. The results obtained are detailed in the Company's 12th December 2018 announcement.
