Alecto Minerals said it had identified multiple targets at its Aysid Metekel gold project in Ethiopia.
The firm said work on the 1,953 sq km project had culminated in the delineation of five high priority target areas for follow up work in the upcoming 2013 field season.
Alecto plans to conduct follow-up work on the identified targets next year, which will include infill soil sampling to accurately locate the source of gold in target areas, mapping, and rock chip sampling where appropriate.
