During the current period, 25 holes/1042 feet of diamond drilling to check on discrepancies with previous downhole percussion drillhole ore sample assays reported from the Lagoon area, plus 31 holes/2780 feet of exploratory/appraisal percussion drilling targeting the lower sulphidic zone and certain IP anomalies in the area of the House workings, and 21 holes/1027 feet of rotary core check drilling in the House, Main Open Cut and Lagoon West areas were all completed. This drilling has re-evaluated and generally confirmed some of the licensees' previously made ore reserve estimates. An addition to those drillhole-measured reserves, of 356,000 tons of sulphide mineralisation @ 0.94% Cu, was identified at the House orebody.
