RE: RE: Sampling now 25 daysWorthwhile to remember is that there already has been done 199 samples of EPL3403. Then these observations was made and where 8 positive samples had been found
comparable to the adjacent Namdeb deposit and that in five of thios there also was indications of positive concentration grades:
Some 199 samples have been extracted and 14 of those samplescontained 23 stones ranging between 0.07 and 2.69 carats per stone, saidLeveille.
"In one area in the south, 8 positive samples had anaverage size of 0.80 carats per stone which is comparable to resultsfrom the adjacent Namdeb deposit, Atlantic One."
"It is also important to note, that multiple stones were found in five samples oneof which contained six stones. This is a major indication ofconcentration and confirms that a deposit lies in this specific area,which covers 16 square kilometres. The northern area geologicallysimilar to Atlantic One covers a vast 160 square kilometres," he said.
Leveillesaid the next step is to develop the resources.
"The first sampling has been very positive and has proven presence of diamonds. We now go backto where we have seen the deposits and explore and prospect for the nextsix months, and then with that completed we can probably envisage trial mining during the last quarter of 2011. From trial mining we switch tocommercial mining."
