"It is quite exceptional to see every drill hole of the sterilisation progamme encounter significant gold mineralisation proximal to the Bananghilig gold deposit, which is itself open in all directions," said Managing Director Peter Hepburn-Brown.
"The potential for significantly increasing the resource base for the Bananghilig project is highly probable based on the number of gold mineralised zones encountered in each hole."
