The drilling equipment was loaded onto boats at Albina on the Marowijne River this morning, from where it will be barged to Paaston on the Tapanahony River, a landing stage in the northwestern part of the Sela Creek licence. Equipment will then be moved to camp, drill site and fuel store by ATV and tractor. Hunter Bay has constructed a core logging/handling facility and camp, which is staffed by efficient and experienced national and expat staff.
Drilling will target the Jons Pit and Cambior prospects initially, focused on defining the down dip continuation of shear hosted gold mineralization identified from surface channel sampling in 2011. This initial work will comprise approximately 1000 metres of drilling, at which point Hunter Bay will make a decision on where to drill the remaining 4000 metres.
Andrew Tunningley, MAusIMM (CP), a director of Hunter Bay, is a Qualified Person as defined in National instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects is responsible for the work program on the Sela Creek Project. Mr. Tunningley has supervised and approved all technical information contained in this news release.
