- Drill program at both Naujombo and Kishugu to shortly commence
West Perth - Indiana Resources Limited (ASX: IDA, “Indiana” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that exploration work has commenced at the Company’s Naujombo and Kishugu Gold Prospects and additional regional targets.
Soil sampling has started at Naujombo, Kiperere West and other regional areas to continue to identify and refine high quality targets and to improve geological and structural control over these areas.
The Kiperere West anomaly, which is located to the south-east of Naujombo, was identified during the 2016 soil sampling program. Owing to high chrome readings, the Kipepere West anomaly may be ultramafic in nature. This represents both a potential gold and / or Ni-Cu sulphide target as demonstrated by elevated copper values (see Figure 1).[1]
[1] Since announcing these exploration results on 31 January 2017, Indiana confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that announcement.
The Company is currently finalising its stage one 2017 drilling program, with a number of high priority targets at both Naujombo and Kishugu having been identified from analysis of geophysical surveys, soil sampling and field mapping data and results of the 2016 RAB drilling program. A tender process is under way and a drilling contractor is expected to be appointed in the coming weeks, at which time a further update on the planned drilling will be provided.
Following the recent placement, which was supported by Investmet Limited, a Michael Fotios led company, (ASX Announcement 11 April 2017), the Company is well positioned to deliver its 2017 exploration programs.
