Diamond Drilling Commences at Itetemia Gold Project
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A diamond drilling program has commenced on the Company's Itetemia Gold Project which adjoins Barrick's Bulyanhulu gold mine.
The Itetemia property hosts numerous discrete gold occurrences, including the Golden Horseshoe Reef which has been traced by diamond drilling to a vertical depth of approximately 440 metres. The gold mineralization occurs primarily within two discrete gold zones, the South and North zones.
Hole GHDD-029 (HQ core) was drilled to a depth of 12.5 metres before being terminated because of nightfall. Owing to a logistical oversight, no lights arrived with the drill rig, however, this issue should be reconciled quickly, allowing drilling to continue on a two shift basis.
Let's bet that this minor oversight doesn't happen again.lol.
